Watch as the green ogre finds his swamp invaded by banished fairytale misfits, runaways who’ve been cast off by Lord Farquaad, a tiny terror with big ambitions. When Shrek sets off with a wise-cracking donkey to confront Farquaad, he’s handed a task - if he rescues feisty Princess Fiona from the Dragon-guarded tower, his swamp will be returned to him. But, a fairy tale wouldn’t be complete without unexpected twists and turns along the way. Join us as we venture through a fairytale story.

Story Time Art Displays Get Ready for Kindergarten Month: this is a celebration to support the happy entry into Kindergarten for the almost 2 million children in the United States. Going to Kindergarten is a life-changing event not only for the child but also for parents, siblings and educators. National Read-A-Romance Month: First observed in 2013, this month-long celebration urges readers to pick a novel to read from the romance genre. Romance novels represent the highest human aspirations: they feature men and women fighting for their best possible lives, against difficult odds and with the universal demand that they change for the better.
Did you know? Audiobooks are great for people who commute, people who exercise with a personal listening device like an iPod, and for people who are vision impaired but still love the joy of a good book. Each library maintains a growing collection of fiction and nonfiction audiobooks. Audiobooks can be checked out for 3 weeks and are renewable up to two times if no one else has requested them. They are available on compact disc. Tutor.com (http://lhh.tutor.com/Authentication/login.aspx): Students can register and receive access to online homework help and expert one-on-one tutoring.

Built between the wooded slopes of the Uetliberg and the Zürichberg, Zurich is divided by the Limmat River. With a vibrant scene, there’s much to explore in Zurich's Old Town. Passport Required. Cost: $89 per adult/$79 per child (3-12)/$10 per child under 3
