After a pleasant Easter weekend, regular programs are scheduled this week.

Children’s Programs: Toddler’s Story Time on Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. and Story Time on Friday at 10:30 a.m. this week as usual. Join Mrs. Jeanne for a fun-filled program of stories, songs and crafts celebrating spring.

LEGO Club: As usual it will be held on Wednesday at 3:30 p.m., healthy snacks and lots of creative fun building and extending our weekly themes. This week, Grace is back from holidays and she will have lots of new ideas and Lego facts for the young participants.

Roses Book Club – postponed to May 1: This will take place next week on May 1, at 2 p.m. We have lots of new books for our members to review and discuss. I have just finished reading, The Little Old Lady who Broke All the Rules by Catharina Ingelman-Sundberg. If you enjoyed, the 100 Year Old Man who Climbed out the Window and Disappeared, you will chuckle over this book about the escapades of a group of seniors led by Martha. Frustrated by the constant cost-cutting and restrictions of the administration of the Old Folks Retirement home, a group of seniors decides to go on a crime spree in order to end up in jail. They feel living conditions are better in jail than in their Retirement home. Of course, everything that can go wrong, goes wrong and their stay in an exclusive upscale hotel, drinking champagne and enjoying room-service meals ends up quite differently than they had expected… and so does their stay in jail!

Pizza & Pages – Teen Book Club –postponed also to May 1: The members are reading Stardust by Neil Gaiman and will finish watching the movie and starting a discussion of the book. There will be a surprise this week so be sure to attend. This will also be the start of our summer programming and we look forward to all sorts of events and activities.

You can now easily search our catalogue from the screen specially formatted for you smart phone.
