This series will introduce our local plant and animal friends to help build nature vocabulary, as well as American Sign Language vocabulary. Recommended for children ages 3-5, siblings welcome.

Author and presenter Cyndee Shaffer uses excerpts from her mother’s letters written home during WWII to provide a romantic yet frightful glimpse into the life of a woman in uniform during this crucial time in history. Cyndee will detail her mother’s experiences from basic training in 1943 to a dramatic image of seeing the Statue of Liberty in the midst of darkness in November 1945 when she returned home.

A book discussion group for those who are in love with, curious about, or concerned for our wild and natural world. We will gather quarterly on the second Tuesday to share thoughts about a chosen book, guided by facilitators from the South Beloit Public Library and Nature At The Confluence. A synopsis and discussion questions will be shared in advance. Snacks, tea, and coloring sheets will be provided.

Please RSVP to receive the book synopsis and discussion questions in advance. Copies of each book may be obtained with a library card at South Beloit Public Library or Beloit Public Library.
