Fall Favorites from the Charlotte Community Library

As you may or may not have noticed, it is now the month of October. This means it is the season for crunchy leaves, picking apples, warm doughnuts, fresh cider, and wearing your favorite sweaters. Or, if you’re more of a Halloween fan like I am, this is the season for tricks, treats, fun costumes, and hanging out with your friends.
