Traveler’s Tales coming to Shelburne Public Library

Written By ROSE DOTTEN

Traveler's Tales- A Night in Canada's Arctic Parks

Tuesday, October 29th @ 7:00 pm

Sit back and relax as our tour guide takes us through some of Canada's most picturesque National Parks! Our tour guide, Marlis, could claim she has been to ALL of Canada's National Parks; however, as she was hiking her last Park in July 2019, Canada created a new National Park! Her adventures will continue. Email jnoble@shelburnelibrary.ca to register for this event.

Children's Programs:

It's October and that means our Children's Programming is getting a little bit spooky!

Books & Babies: Tuesday mornings, 10:00 am - 11:00 am - After your morning walk in the fresh, Fall air, come and visit this drop-in group for parents and children 2 years old and under. A group full of great conversation, and a safe place for children to socialize with others their own age.

LEGO Club: Wednesday afternoons, 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm - This drop-in program for children ages 6-12 has a brand new build challenge every single week. As your child's skills grow they can also attempt the weekly “Expert Build Challenge”. LEGO CLUB is often not just LEGO! We also have lots of fun incorporating other STEM activities and experiments each week along with building our LEGO creations.

JOIN US on Wednesday, October 30th, from 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm for our annual LEGO Club Costume Party! Come in your costume, enjoy some special treats, and create scary LEGO creations before Halloween. 

Sleepy Story Time, Thursday, October 17th, from 6:15pm - 7:00 pm. Stop by YOUR LIBRARY in your pajamas, and snuggle up for 45 minutes of stories!

Story Time: Friday mornings, 10:30 am - 11:30 am -This is a drop-in group full of singing, dancing, and stories. Each week we have a themed craft that connects to what we learned from our story.
