Several years back, our library programmers began building dinosaur-themed programs into the fall schedule and cleverly decided to rename November Dinovember. Since then, we have hosted activities based on celebrating and learning more about these giant prehistoric creatures during the month. Here’s what we have on the docket the next few weeks.
