We are tremendously excited about our summer programs.

Both the Children’s and the Teens’ calendars are full of exciting and engaging programs every day! The calendars are now available in the Library and on our website and Facebook pages. Check out all the fun activities we have lined up at YOUR library!

TD SUMMER READING PROGRAM STARTS THIS SATURDAY, JULY 9 AT 10.30 @ YOUR LIBRARY

Come join us and sign up for a summer filled with reading, crafts, movies, book clubs, and story time. There is a different theme every week with activities and prizes and incentives galore. Don’t miss all the fun! Call 519-925-2168 or drop in to see us.

Story time continues throughout the summer on Fridays at 10.30. Paws to Read will be back the beginning of August, so watch for the signup sheets the end of July.

Teen Scene

#SPLsummerreadingchallenge

STARTS THIS THURSDAY, JULY 7 @ 6PM

It’s hard to believe that we are just TWO days away from launching our Teen Summer Reading Challenge! We already have a great group of teens signed up for the launch party, but we would love even more!

Starting at 6 p.m., this Thursday, July 7, Teens can drop in, get their summer reading packages, find out all about #SPL summer reading challenge, and even put a little magic into their summer by making a Harry Potter-style wand! Cool, right?

We’ve scheduled fun, educational, and creative activities for Monday, Wednesday, and Thursdays throughout July and August. Go to www.shelburnelibrary.ca/summerreading or to our Facebook page (/shelburnelibrary and like us while you’re there) to check out our Summer Reading Calendars!

Spoiler alert—We’ve booked another young adult author to come into the Library on August 18: Erin Bow, author of The Scorpion Rules and Swan Riders will be here to give a behind the scenes look at the Canadian publishing industry!
