LIVERPOOL — Here comes October, and the Liverpool Public Library staff has put together an event schedule full and fitting for fall.
The LPL partners with Help Me Grow Onondaga for the new program for parents, Books, Balls and Blocks. Meet at 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 2, in the Carman Community Room to learn about the five stages of childhood development and discover low-cost activities you can share with your children at home.

That’s not the only new program designed for families and kids for October. Sensory Bins for Toddlers allows exploration of textures, shapes and colors with 18-month to 3-year-olds, at 10 a.m. each Wednesday of the month in the Carman Community Room. Meet Edison provides children 8-12 the chance to tinker with our new Edison Robots technology, as the little ‘bots respond to light, sound and obstacles.

Money as You Grow teaches parents and caregivers about marking children’s money milestones at 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 23, in the Carman Community Room. Registration is required for these programs.
