Shelburne Library News: HFFA Presentation/Walk the Wall ChallengeBy Rose Dotten The presentation by the Headwaters Food and Farming Alliance last Thursday, March 23, in conjunction with our Walk the Wall Challenge, was amazing! Very Informative and fun as well. Nicole Hambleton and Jennifer Payne talked about healthy eating and healthy lifestyles; dispelling many myths and giving us solid and interesting information. As you entered the room, there were two tables of resources, books etc., charts, brochures, and then a third table laden with healthy snacks and foods. After a humourous and fact-filled presentation by Nicole, we all proceeded to fill our plates, with rainbow-coloured salads, ginger sesame tofu, watermelon radish slices and so much more … even whole grain bread, something for everyone. We had an excellent crowd of about 25 but I'd love to have HFFA come again and this time, I think 100 folks should fill the room. We are having another Step Challenge this summer starting July 1, 2017, our Trans-Canada 150 Trek. Children's Programs: The “Paws to Read” program will be back on Wednesday, April 5 from 3.30 to 4.30 p.m. There are a couple of spaces available so if you would like your child to read to “Mac” the therapeutic dog, please contact us.

The three computers in the children's department are set up with learning activities for the young children up to ages 10 to explore.

Teen Scene This week is our Pizza & Pages Book Club meeting where we will continue to discuss the 2017 White Pine Nominees. The feedback from our group so far is this: they're going to have a hard time picking a winner. In order to qualify to vote in the program, Teens in grades 9-12 must read and review at least five of the nominated titles. Once that is complete, they are invited to our invite only White Pine Vote Day on Thursday, March 27 @ 6:00 p.m. No votes, no pizza. Check out our calendars on Facebook (/shelburnelibrary) to stay up to date! Our recommended read of the week is Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon. NEW BOOKS This Thursday is Rose's Book Club @ 2:00 p.m. We have a few new members and that makes for a very interesting afternoon. As well, I've read quite a few new books and we have a terrific selection of new books that we have selected. Come and join in the fun and discussion.
