This Saturday, June 18, come out to our Giant Book Sale from 10 a.m. – 4.30 p.m. It is in conjunction with the Annual Street Festival and Classic Car Show. This will be a fun time for all. The weather looks promising and we have lots and lots of great books. See you Saturday!

DIY ILLO

Did you know that we are able to request books we don’t own from other libraries? Did you also know that you can manage your own requests from other libraries? All you need to do is email info@shelburnelibrary.ca with your name, library card number, and telephone number, or come into the library and we will get your DIY ILLO account set up.

We’ll even give you a tutorial on how to use it! Imagine being able to order books in your PJs! Any time, 24/7! These service are all provided at no charge to our patrons.

Rose’s Book Club:

Do you need some new authors, new books and lots of ideas for summer reading? Then come and join us for Rose’s Book Club, the fourth Thursday of the month at 2 p.m.

This is a different kind of club than any others you may have joined before. Each month, I introduce all the new books I have read in the past month with a synopsis of each book.

I also bring a selection of others that were selected for the library and the members will be the first to sign them out. The attendees can also share any books they have read. This opens up a whole new world of reading for everyone. Anyone is welcome to attend so mark your calendar. We hope to see you on June 23.

Children’s Programs:

The TD Summer Reading Club is starting on Saturday, July 9 at 10.30 a.m., so be sure to call us or drop in to have your name on our registration sheets. The program gets filled up quite quickly. The theme this summer is “WILD” and we will be having a really “wild” time. This program is for three-year-olds up to 12 years.

For more information, call us at 519-925-2168. The calendar for all our summer activities will soon be up on our website. Keep watching for it.

Story Time continues throughout the summer on Fridays at 10.30 a.m. Join us for songs, finger plays, stories, and crafts. Paws to Read will be back the beginning of August, so watch for the signup sheets the end of July.

Teen Scene

As our Teens are gearing up for exams, we’re going to provide them with some space to unwind. A few DIY projects will be given as options to complete this week, all of which will aim to minimize the stress our Teens are feeling at this time. Come one, come all—Thursday, June 16, from 6 – 7 p.m.

As mentioned last week, there will be no Teen activities scheduled Thursday, June 23^rd, per request of our Teens as they will be amidst exams. Book club will take place June 30^th where Teens will discuss the 2016 read they selected.
