Black History Month

February is Black History Month. Come in to YOUR library and check out the books we have on display. We have displays both in the adult and childrens' library for you to check out.

A valentine's present for you!!

On Valentine's Day, Friday, February 14th, you may choose one free bag of books from our Book Sale area to take home. We think that the best kind of date is one with a book!

Teen Scene:

Do you think you have what it takes to avoid being shot by Cupid's arrow? Test your skills in our Escape Cupid's Arrow Escape Room just before Valentine's Day @ YOUR Library! You can register for upcoming events by emailing jwyse@shelburnelibrary.ca, or registering at the circulation desk.

Children's Programs

Books & Babies: Tuesday mornings, 10:00 am - 11:00 am -Put on your warm, winter clothes 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.

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. Visit Story Time, and leave with new friends and amazing art creations. For the month of February we will be exploring everything to do with snow!
