November 3-7: Mascot Fox’s time in office is coming to a close! This year we have four candidates running for election as Ridgefield Library Mascot. All humans aged 18 minutes or older are invited to vote in-person in the Lodewick Children’s Library starting Monday, November 3 until Saturday, November 7 at 5:00 pm. If you are unable to visit the Library during that time–do not fear! You can cast an absentee ballot during voting week: 2025 Mascot Election Absentee Ballot. This election voting will be done using Ranked Choice Voting, so each voter is asked to rank the four candidates in order of preference. Library cards are not required, but we do ask that only one ballot per person is submitted.
Saturday, November 8 @10:30 am: Di-November gets musical! Families with children of all ages will be roaring with delight! Join Michele Urban Music on a dino-mite, prehistoric, music adventure. Find your own dinosaur roar as you stomp, chomp, dance and sing along to Michele’s silly dino-songs that explore important SEL themes, like feelings, fears, diversity, kindness and inclusion. And, of course, kids have tons of fun sharing knowledge of dinosaur facts! Registration is encouraged but drop-ins are welcome as space permits. Register here.
Programs like this are made possible in part by the generosity of our donors.
Friday, November 14 @ 6:00pm: Join us for our 21+ adults-only tabletop gaming experience. Snacks, non-alcoholic beverages provided as well as a ticket for one beer or glass of wine included. Tabletop games mean anything from card games to dice games, board games to strategy games.
You are welcome to bring a game and play, learn a new game, borrow a game from our collection to take home, or just observe! If you have a specific game that you are interested in teaching, please let us know so we can put a table aside for you. Larger groups of six or more can also email to request a table be set aside.
All attendees must be 21 or older. Registration is recommended.
