Children`s Programming

The Children's Department has expanded their collection with brand-new picture books, chapter books, graphic novels, and more.

Looking to expand your child's independent reading? The Staff in the Children's department can help you discover new reading materials. We have something for everyone in all reading levels, as well as an ever-expanding Children's French collection. 

We continue to have a wonderful response to our Take-Home Story Time Kits. This program supplies you with all the craft supplies you will need to participate in our weekly Story Time program. A YouTube video is released every Friday at 10:30am, in which your children will be read a story, and will be taught how to create a craft related to that story. The sign up for this program is released at the end of each month, please email children@shelburnelibrary.ca.

As always, we are posting weekly LEGO challenges on our Social accounts. A fun, family activity would be to create a competition within your own family using these challenges. Who will be the best builder this week?  We would love to see pictures of your creations

Questions about programming, pictures of LEGO challenges, and craft creations can all be sent to children@shelburnelibrary.ca.
