FERRIS PUBLIC LIBRARY: More than Books (October 10, 2024)

For our youngest readers, the magic of storytelling comes to life during our Wednesday morning story time sessions. These interactive sessions transport children into worlds filled with talking animals, brave heroes, and delightful surprises. We also incorporate a craft or game to go along with the story. It is our hope that this experience ignites imaginations and fosters a lifelong love of books.  

Follow our Facebook page to stay updated on all our exciting activities this October! 

AFTER-SCHOOL GAME TIME is held each Thursday from 3:30 to 5 p.m. Children can play the PS5 on the large screen in the meeting room, board games are also available.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: Oct. 10, 1846, Triton, the biggest moon of Neptune, was discovered. Triton is the largest natural satellite of the planet Neptune, and the first Neptunian moon to be discovered. The discovery was made on Oct. 10, 1846, by English astronomer William Lassell. It is the only large moon in the Solar System with a retrograde orbit, an orbit in the direction opposite to its planet’s rotation. At 2,710 km in diameter, it is the seventh-largest moon in the Solar System.
