Please note: In case of inclement weather when buses are cancelled, the library may be open but library programs will be cancelled. Watch our social media for details.

Archivist on the Road is here again the third Tuesday of the month and we invite you to meet with Laura Camilleri from the MOD and learn how she can help you research your ancestry or the provenance of objects you own. Her next scheduled presentation will be Tuesday, March 19th at 2 pm where we will learn about the Dufferin Boys and their adventures in the Klondike.

TEEN SCENE:

With all of this blustery weather, Teens should drop by and check out all of the new books, graphic novels, & DVDs available to keep them entertained indoors. I’ve recently listened to Courtney Summer’s Sadie, and if I could use the fire emoticon here, I would. It was absolutely thrilling, so keep watching our catalogue for the print copy and place your holds when you can! If you’re an avid listener like me, I’d highly recommend putting a hold on the eAudio copy on Libby! To that end, we have all of the Forest of Reading’s White Pine books available for those who are looking to participate in the WP Reading Club; this is a selection of 10 excellent, Canadian novels from diverse perspectives.

Upcoming events:

Tuesday, February 19th, 4-5pm- TAB Meeting. Tuesday, February 26th, 4-5pm- White Pine Launch. Tuesday, March 5th, 4-5pm- TAB Meeting. March Break- Details to be released soon!
