Children's Programs:

The Super Readers Club is a great program to encourage reading all year round.

We are still looking for moms with babies for a baby program of songs and finger plays and stories.

Remember Paws to Read is on Tuesdays from 3.45 to 4.45 p.m. Make an appointment to read to Mac the Therapeutic Poodle. For these programs and any questions call the Library at 519-925-2168, or drop in to see us.

 

Teen Scene

We are going to make up for last week's teen activity cancellation this week!

Not only will we be discussing Via Voros's The Opposite of Geek, but we will also munch on some pizza while composing thoughtful letters to the White Pine nominated authors! Also, don't forget about the inaugural meeting of Sarah's Book Club, this Thursday, March 31st @ 4 p.m.

You'll be able to select titles from a given genre and read something that appeals to you, but fits with the common theme! Light snacks and refreshments will be provided.

 

NEW BOOKS
