There\u2019s something wonderfully invigorating about this time of year! The air and apples are crisper.\u00a0 Pumpkin Spice flavors delight us. The trees turn vibrant golden yellow and rich red against the deep blue autumn sky. Farmer\u2019s harvests fill the air with scents and sounds of Fall. We look forward to receiving more treats than tricks. The days become shorter. We clean up our gardens. Put away the tools. Prepare for brisk nights and mornings. It is a time of change.<\/span><\/p>\n

Autumn is one of our most colorful seasons. It\u2019s always a reflection on the beauty that can come from letting go.\u00a0 The first Friday of October is also World Smile Day.\u00a0\u00a0 A smile can be one of the easiest ways to bring some beauty into the world. It doesn\u2019t cost you a cent to share one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I invite you to come into the library and check out the materials that may give you reason to smile, or create a smile in your own or someone else\u2019s life. Find a good children\u2019s book. Enjoy it yourself or share it with a child. Enjoy our outdoor story walk.\u00a0 Check out a cookbook. Try a new recipe. Find a travel guide and imagine seeing the world. Find a great novel \u2013 adult or young adult \u2013 and be delighted with the twists and turns of\u00a0 the plot. Check out some of our music CDs. Find a movie you and the family can enjoy together. Find a book that can help you on your personal journey to grow and improve. Attend one of our many different programs. Go ahead and start planning next year\u2019s garden. Get your daffodil and tulip bulbs planted\u2026because before you know it, Spring will be here once again. (Admit it you just smiled thinking about it!)<\/span><\/p>\n

As always, we appreciate your support and patronage of The Andover Public Library.\u00a0 Here\u2019s hoping that this is a season where you can enjoy the changing colors, and while you\u2019re at it, share a smile or two with someone else.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/span><\/p>\n

Nancy Logan, Director<\/span><\/p>\n
