Written By ROSE DOTTEN

Join us Sunday, March 8, 2020 from 1:00 – 4:00 pm for our first Seedy Sunday. You will be able to borrow seeds from our Seed Lending Library (a partnership with the Erin Seed Lending Library), ask Master Gardener, Julia Dimakos and Native Plant expert Shaun Booth questions about growing in our area. The Bruce Trail Club will also be there to let you know about the wonderful outdoor recreation we have in our area!

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 in both the adult and children’s library for you to check out.

Teen Scene

Last week Teens escaped the Cupid’s Arrow Escape Room, beating the time set by our staff during the testing phase, too! This week we satisfied our sweet tooth with DIY cookie dough balls, and even left enough to fill the new cookie jars we created!

You can register for upcoming events by emailing jwyse@shelburnelibrary.ca, or registering at the circulation desk.
