    November 7th is Hug a Bear Day. We are sharing this information a couple days early so that you can prepare because the world needs more hugs. We don't recommend that you try to hug a real bear. Instead, here are some suggestions on safer ways to celebrate: Hug a stuffed bear (yes, koalas and pandas count), hug someone else's stuffed bear, hug Chicago Bears (with permission), and hug people who are fans of the Chicago Bears. You can also hug people dressed like bears. If you know someone who has a bear shirt or bear socks, I'd hug them, too. In addition, since the holiday is really about hugging and not necessarily about bears, just go ahead and hug your sweetie, your kids, your mom and dad, your friends and your family, as long as they want a hug.

    Then you should come to the library and get books about bears. You can go home and snuggle up like bears in a den and read all your bear books!🐻🙂🐻

    Monday, November 3 at 6:00 PM - Book Discussion at Spencer Public Library - Redeployment by Phil Klay - Redeployment takes readers to the front lines of the war in Iraq, asking us to understand what happened there and what happened to the soldiers who returned. Interwoven with themes of brutality and faith, guilt and fear, helplessness and survival, the characters in these short stories struggle to make meaning out of chaos. Books can be checked out at the front desk. For more information call 712-580-7290.
