Our days are just humming and we like it that way! Our student assistants are busy as there is often a lineup to check in for the summer reading program. This will be the last week we can accept new registrations because the program is nicely underway and the participants are excited about reporting and letting us know how many books they have read.

Teen programs:

Our Teens @ Random program last Thursday, July 11th, featured Makeup Artist Sharon Betton from Painting Faces Cosmetics who provided professional makeup application tips and strategies for our young members. We were able to take some fantastic photos of our young members with their enhanced “New Look.” The important part of the evening was that the makeup was not heavy but flattering and natural and they looked beautiful.

This Thursday, July 18, we are “Calling all teens with talent! We will be hosting an Open Mike Coffee House; part of our weekly “Teens @ Random” program. We welcome all teen’s grades 7 to 12 to come out and show off their skills-whether it is performing a song, poem, or a musical instrument. All performers must register by calling or dropping by the Library.

Not a performer? Come out and be part of the audience to enjoy great entertainment and to support the young local talent!

Computer Sessions:

We are still offering our computer sessions so please feel free to drop in for a one hour session geared to YOUR specific needs and interests.

TD Summer Reading Program:

At the library, we are all about partnerships and this Saturday, we are partnering with the Tipling Stage Company for an exciting train ride across Canada. All Aboard as we sing popular songs and be part of the interactive journey on our library train.

Remember Tuesdays and Wednesdays, we have fun crafts and activities for all our 3 to 12 year olds, Movies, Sing-alongs with Emily at the keyboard and Lindsay on the fiddle and other musical instruments available for the participants are all aspects of the fun we have planned. We have Monday cooking classes with limited spaces and the first one is already full so do call in or come in to register.

Our program calendar for July is posted at the library and the August one can be picked up when you come in.
