Ferdinand Fox’s First Summer by Mary Holland is a photographic journal of a red fox as he explores the world around him during the first few months of his life. He’s about a month old when he first comes out of the den. Watch as he learns to hunt through play and by using his senses. See the changes as he grows from a young kit to a young fox. After all, by the next summer, he’ll have kits of his own! Naturalist photographer and environmental educator Mary Holland has captured Ferdinand Fox’s First Summer in a way that is sure to grab children’s hearts.
While the audience of the book is 1st to 2nd grade, the content is great for all ages- even adults!

City of North Adams Trick or Treat Hours,
Safety Guidelines
NORTH ADAMS, MA (October 1, 2020) – Halloween Trick or Treat City hours for the City of North Adams will be held Saturday, October 31, 2020, from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. Traditional trick or treat activities are strongly discouraged in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, North Adams officials encourage those who choose to participate in Trick or Treat to opt for a contactless, grab and go approach.
Following guidance from the Centers from Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) the city recommends that residents follow GHOST guidelines to help ensure a fun and safe Halloween for all.
These guidelines, which also are posted to https://www.northadams ma.gov/halloween_2020/halloween2020.php, include the following:
| G | Grab and Go Only
Participating residents should hand out treats in goodie bags or other contactless ways. |
| H | Have Fun
This should need no explanation! |
| O | Only Visit Participating Houses
Traditionally people leave on a light or decorate to signal they are participating; trick or treaters should respect those who choose not to participate. |
| S | Stay Close to Home
Participants should remain in a compact, walkable neighborhood as much as possible. |
| T | Take Your Mask
As with any public activity, trick or treaters should wear a cloth face covering to protect themselves and those with whom they come in contact; following CDC guidance trick or treaters should not wear a costume mask over their cloth face covering. |
While the city supports Trick or Treat activities during the announced hours, the following activities are not recommended during the Halloween season:
- “Trunk or Treat” events where children go from car to car instead of door to door to receive treats are not recommended.
- Gatherings or parties with non-household members are not recommended even if they are conducted outdoors.
- Carnivals, festivals, live entertainments, and haunted house attractions are not recommended.
In accordance with CDC and Massachusetts Department of Public Health guidelines the city also asks those participating in Trick or Treat activities to:
- Observe good hand hygiene, including hand washing and use of alcohol-based sanitizers with at least 60% alcohol. Carry hand sanitizer and use it often, especially after coming into contact with frequently touched surfaces and before eating candy;
- Stay home and refrain from Halloween activities, including handing out Halloween treats, if they feel unwell, have tested positive for COVID-19 or been exposed to someone with COVID-19, or have traveled to or from a higher risk state in the two weeks prior to Halloween; and
- Maintain social distancing of at least 6 feet of physical distance from all other participants who are not members of the same household.
The CDC website (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/daily-life-coping/holidays.html#halloween) also offers suggestions for other lower-risk alternatives to participate in Halloween.

Event Details
The Milne Public Library, the North Adams Public Library, and the Solomon Wright Public Library present the Doodling Workshop Series with cartoonist Cara Bean! This playful five-part workshop invites participants ages 8-12 to draw and sketch in an open and relaxed environment. We begin with a few simple sketching games meant to inspire the imagination and naturally progress into the development of characters and settings. Then we explore basic cartooning and learn how words and pictures can come together to build a narrative. In the final week, participants write and create their own stories inspired by their drawings.
WHEN WILL IT TAKE PLACE?
Our virtual cartooning club will meet Wednesdays on Zoom between 3:30pm and 4:30pm, beginning on October 7th and concluding on November 4th. The link will be emailed after registration.

Additional Info:
Dr. Susan Natali is an Arctic ecologist whose focus on permafrost thaw is motivated by an acute awareness of the risks it poses in the Arctic and to the planet. She leads the Woodwell Climate Research Center’s Arctic Program, which investigates the drivers and consequences of rapid Arctic change. Her research examines the effects of permafrost thaw and northern wildfires on the release of greenhouse gasses, and thus, on global climate. She also works with local communities in the Arctic who are adapting to the impacts of a rapidly warming climate, including the effects of permafrost thaw. Dr. Natali has worked extensively in remote regions of Alaska and Siberia, conducting research and—as the Director of the Polaris Project—training the next generation of Arctic scientists.
