You can let us know you're coming by calling or coming into the library, or by adding our activity to your Culture Days schedule @ www.culturedays.ca. Watch for details on Facebook (/shelburnelibrary) and our website.   Au Revoir We've just said goodbye, although I like to think it is au revoir, to Emily our fantastic computer and IPad instructor. She is off to Australia for a holiday and we will miss her. Hopefully, when she comes back, she will be able to come in and help out till she goes back to graduate school. We also said our goodbyes to Briana who is back at Western doing her undergraduate degree in maths and science. We have been very fortunate to have had such exemplary student assistants this summer as well as in the past. Occasionally, you will see a few of our former assistants as they drop by to help us out. Children's Programs The “Paws to Read” program is starting this Wednesday at 3.30 to 4.30 p.m. for any child who would like to practice reading to our therapeutic dog, Mac. There are four 15-minute sessions, but you need to book ahead of time as they fill up quickly. It is a wonderful program for anyone who is a little shy at reading out loud or needs a little practice with his or her reading skills. Story time will be back on Friday September 30 at 10.30 p.m. for children ages 2 and up. Lego will begin after school starting Wednesday, September 28 at 3.30 to 4.30, for ages 6 and up. Please register for any of these programs by calling the Library at 519-925-2168, so we can be prepared for everyone.   Teen Scene Teen programs will commence again every Thursday at the regular time. Jade is away on a well-deserved holiday but she is looking forward to seeing all of you next week.   New Books   Fiction: Here Comes the Bribe by Mary Daheim Margaret Truman's Deadly Medicine by Donald Bain The Girls by Emma Cline Panacea by F.Paul Wilson I Am No One by Patrick Flannery Make Me Love You by Johanna Lindsey The Cold Nowhere by Brian Freeman Sircusa by Delia Ephron Without the Moon by Cathi Unsworth The Perfect Neighbors by Sarah Pekkanen Jonathan Unleashed by Meg Rosoff Little Girl Gone by Gerry Schmitt Non-fiction: The Ideas of Canada by Governor General David Johnston The Born Again Runner by Pete Magill From Junk Food to Joy Food by Joy Bauer --------------------------------------------------- Images: --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Post date: 2016-09-16 11:09:22 Post date GMT: 2016-09-16 15:09:22 Post modified date: 2016-09-16 11:09:22 Post modified date GMT: 2016-09-16 15:09:22 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Export of Post and Page as text file has been powered by [ Universal Post Manager ] plugin from www.gconverters.com
