Director’s MESSAGE Greetings!
Can it really be November? The year has flown by so quickly, as we prepare to gather with friends and loved ones, and just pause, and be thankful. As Americans in this country’s 250th year – once a fractious collection of colonies that few believed could unite – we have so much for which to be grateful. Among those things is the safety and security of our country, owing to the historic sacrifices of our veterans. So, it is fitting that we celebrate Veterans Day and Thanksgiving so close together. Take part in a holiday program this month and get into the spirit of this magnificent time of year. One immensely empowering and patriotic act is to share with our neighbors. At Thanksgiving, many of us will sit down to a rich meal of turkey with all the trimmings. Please put
aside one non-perishable item to drop into a library collection box, found yearround at every branch. Food banks and community pantries are depleted at this time of year, and your contribution counts more than you know. Food is the fuel we live on and sometimes enjoy a bit too much. Among our special guests this month is clinical herbalist Arielle Hayat, whose experience in Chinese medicine, Ayurveda, Native American folk, European herbalism, and the Wise Woman tradition will help us over the holidays with gut health and, by popular demand, healthy weight management. She will be giving us a custom tea formulation to get us started. I make it a point to look for things, large and small, that I add to my gratitude list. For example, I love a good book that draws me in and transports me to another realm

or reality. Surely, A Marriage at Sea: A True Story of Love, Obsession, and Shipwreck by Sophie Elmhirst will do that for you as well, not least of all because it’s a true story of epic adventure. This runaway bestseller is one of Barack Obama’s favorite books of 2025 and one of mine as well. Sit down with me at my Director’s Book Club and see if you agree with us. If you have not had a life of wild, jawdropping adventure, feel free to write a novel and make something up! Did you know that November is National Novel Writing Month? Why not try your hand and see what reaction your thoughts provoke? Everyone has a story, so tell yours. We have writers’ groups for all tastes and genres, and there is one for you. We will even help you selfpublish at no charge through our Indie Author Project. Before I sign off, mark your calendars for November 14th. Don’t be late for this important date! It’s time for the Annual Storybook Festival, now in its 25th year. This event is a legendary, blockbuster production with the first 1,000 kids receiving a free book. This year’s theme is “Curiouser and Curiouser” and is based on the Lewis Carroll classic, Alice in Wonderland. Enjoy a day of amazing professional entertainment and thrifty, free fun. Wishing you the peace of a serene holiday spent caring for yourself and others.
Sincerely, Allison Grubbs
BROWARD COUNTY LIBRARY DIRECTOR
