Children`s Programming

‘Tis the season for warm and cozy books! The Children’s Department has officially brought out our entire holiday collection. Stock up on your festive reads now, and look forward to many evenings snuggled up with a good book.

Do you have children between the ages of 10-13 at home? This month,the registration for our new Tween & Teen program “Shelved” will open. This completely new program will have a featured novel with weekly activities based on themes occurring in the story, and video instructions to accompany each activity on YouTube. Each participant will have a copy of this novel to take home and read at their leisure. Everyone will be provided with a customized bookmark each week that includes thought-provoking questions and an opportunity to express themselves creatively (with doodles!) What better way to start off the New Year than with a new program!

Oh what fun it is to BUILD a one horse open sleigh! As always, we are posting weekly LEGO challenges on our Facebook and Instagram accounts. Who will be the best builder this week – who knows?

Questions about programming, pictures of LEGO challenges and craft creations can all be sent to children@shelburnelibrary.ca.
