September 18
Friends of the Brown Deer Library present the Schlitz Audubon Nature Center Animals With Bad Reputations: 10:30-11:30am. Using live animals, hands-on demonstrations, songs, and stories, this program stresses that many animals have a public perception that is often highly inaccurate. The bad reputation is responsible for many attitudes detrimental to the existence of creatures of great important to our environment. You will get to meet a snake, a toad, and a tarantula. We also talk about wolves, bats, owls, and skunks. This program will focus on the good traits and benefits these creatures provide.

Craft Days for Tweens & Teens--Paint Chip Art
Teen and Tween craft day continues! It will work the same as it did over the summer where we will provide the supplies you need for the craft as well instructions. Available while supplies last.
Budget 101 Kits--available while supplies last!
If you’re suddenly finding yourself on your own for the first time, whether young or old, creating a plan and a budget you can live with can be challenging. Collected in this kit are some handy ideas, resources, and worksheets to help you get started putting together just such a plan.
Job Fair Kits--available while supplies last!
Life has been hard the last year or two. For some, it has meant that we have to redefine who we are professionally, where we are going, and what we will do when we get there. For others, the job market is new and exciting, maybe a little scary, but it’s only at the beginning of the adventure. We have collected resources to help you put your best foot forward, from resume tips and interview techniques to temp agency information and more. Pick up yours and see where life takes you.

It is art cart day! This week is all about paper-crafts! Included in each kit are most of the supplies you need to make a rolled paper apple (as pictured above), and to build your own ice cream cone. Not a real ice cream cone of course but this way you can make it whatever flavor (or flavors ) you like and it will never melt!
Ongoing programming:
Family Movie Kits are here! Gather the family together and enjoy one of these classic family movies. Discover something new or rediscover an old favorite. All kits contain 1 package of microwave popcorn, one DVD of either a G or PG movie, and a related craft or activity. Movies featured are: Matilda, The Princess Bride, Howl's Moving Castle, My Neighbor Totoro, The Black Stallion and The Fantastic Mr. Fox.
Don't forget that September is library card sign-up month! Have questions about how to get a card? Give us a call!
It's not too late to enter the Brown Deer Community Calendar Contest! This is a great opportunity for talented artists, who just love spending time at the library, to show us their skills! Our judges —staff and library patrons —will be able to vote for their favorites. The art with the most votes will be showcased in the upcoming calendar.
The art may be in any 2D format (crayon, colored pencil, marker, or paint). It must be on standard 8.5 x 11in paper or cardstock. The winners will not only have their art featured in the calendar but also receive a PRIZE along with their own calendar! Drawings must be turned in at the Reference desk by Friday October 15th for consideration into the calendar. Once ready, the calendar will be available for purchase and all proceeds will help fund 2022 library programming.
Stay tuned for more fun activities and programs coming soon! We can't wait to see you at the library!
