TD Summer Reading Club Finale

Please join us at 11 am on Saturday, August 16, 2019 for the Awards ceremony. All participants will receive a small prize and certificate. Participants with most books read, most programs attended, and most overall points earned will receive special recognition.

Authors in the Hills of Mulmur

For the fifth year, this event held in a barn in the beautiful hills of Mulmur was outstanding. The capacity crowd of 150 was lavish in its praise of the authors, the food and the lovely venue, saying it was the best ever! It certainly was a beautiful afternoon for this special Mulmur township community literary event. With funds raised last year, the committee had a special elevated stage built which could be used for future Mulmur Township events.

Teen Scene

It’s hard to believe our TSRC is almost over for the year! As of the time we’re writing, our Teens have read about 150 books, earning 1 point for each book, and there is stiff competition for the prize for most books read. They’ve also completed a variety of weekly challenges, including trying to cook a meal using just the sun and some ingenuity, which earned a lot of laughs. Come check out the wide variety of games we will have in the parking lot between 11am-3pm at our Finale on Friday, August 16th. Our Finale will feature entertainment from Troupe Adore (face painting, Henna, balloon animals, and music) as well as light refreshments! We’re going to wrap up this year’s Teen Summer Reading Challenge with prizes being awarded on Friday, August 16th @ 2pm.

We’re also looking to add a few new members to our Teen Advisory Board. This group meets monthly and helps plan our Teen events while earning community service hours. If your Teen is interested, please fill out an application (found at www.shelburnelibrary.ca/TAB.html) and return it in person to the Library c/o Jade Noble, or email it to jnoble@shelburnelibrary.ca!
