Check out our new addition this year, as we present a French language program of stories, songs and crafts in conjunction with the TD summer reading program. Watch the paper and our website for more details. Join us for Lego, (a junior Lego club too),movies, prizes and reading incentives.
Paws to Read Program: Tuesdays, 4 – 5 p.m.
Come and read to Mac. This popular program allows children to read to Mac, the poodle and share their love of reading. Please sign up as spaces are very limited and they fill up quickly.
Story time takes place every Friday at 10:30 a.m. for children up to six years old. Be sure to mark it on your calendar.

NEW HAPPENINGS
You may have noticed lots of movement of books, new places for everything and some?
We are literally turning the adult library around! The non-fiction has all been re-located to the west side of the library…and the special part is that with the configuration of shelving, we were able to pull out a section of all the Gardening books, all the Cook books and all the Knitting and Crocheting books so they are instantly accessible. Next Thursday, June 11, comes the big move. We have a team coming in before the library opens to move one shelf into the east side of the library and a team of staff and volunteers to help put all the fiction books back on those shelves. It will be great when you see the changes. Already the DVDs, large print and Christian fiction books have new locations that are working well.
Now there will be lots of room for all the new books coming in daily. Drop by and see the changes.
