We will be starting a new Super Readers Club for Ages 7 and up after school, so watch for upcoming announcements. This is a great way for young folks to enjoy reading and discuss their favourites.

Teen Scene

Teens had an extra week of anticipation for our Fan-demonium! event, resulting from the wintery weather last week. We look forward to Teens coming out on Thursday, December 22, from 6 – 8 p.m. for this event. Wear your favourite fandom gear!

This will be our last program for 2016, but Teen events will start up again Thursday, January 5, in the New Year! Happy Holidays and keep an eye on Facebook (/shelburnelibrary) to stay up to date.
