Children’s Programs:

The Super Readers Club has started; however, there are still spaces available for children to join. We had 10 youngsters here participating last week. The question is: how many books can you read in a week?

It is a fun program with crafts, reading, activities, and prizes.

It runs on Tuesday after school from 3.30 to 4.30 p.m.

The Paws to Read Program is looking for children (who might need a little help with reading) to come and read to Mac, the therapeutic poodle.

He loves to listen to children read to him.

Phone for an appointment today.

Mac is here every Tuesday from 3.45 to 4.45 p.m.

Story time is Fridays from 10.30 to 11.15 a.m. Join us for a fun time of stories, songs and crafts.

The TD Summer Reading Program will start the beginning of July for kids of ages three and up.

Keep watching for more information that will be coming up soon.

Teen Scene:

First things first: Congratulations to our White Pine Award reading program winner, Megan! Megan successfully read and reviewed five of the nominated White Pine titles! Not only did this enable her to vote for her favourite title, but she also got to have a pizza party in her honour and won a Cineplex gift card!

This week, Thursday, April 21, we will be creating some book folding art! This project can be a little tedious, but the results are worth it.

Also, don’t forget that E.K. Johnston, author of The Story of Owen, will be coming to the library on Thursday, April 28 at 6 p.m. She is an excellent author for both young adult and adult readers, so it’s an event you won’t want to miss. The event is free, but registration is preferred.

Dufferin Reads: One Book One County:

Time is running out!! Author Kim Thúy will be at the Dufferin County Museum on Sunday, May 1 at 1 p.m. with her discussion about the book and her life.

Join us for refreshments after the talk. Tickets are $10 and are limited.

They can be purchased at the libraries and Booklore.
