What a gorgeous week it is turning out to be weather-wise. A great time to plan on summer reading books and we have lots. Some by Canadian authors… some of my favourites, Miriam Toews, All My Puny Sorrows and then some light reading like Vicki Delany’s Under the Cold Stone.

Summer Programs

All this good weather and sunshine acts as a catalyst for all the exciting programs, we are planning for the children and teens. We will be running a Lego Club for the younger ones ages 3 to 5 and continue with our current club for ages 6 to 12. This fits in very well with our TD Summer Reading Themes, Eureka which focuses on creating and inventing. Due to many requests, we are also planning a Rainbow Loom Club. The first session of that will be Thursday, June 5, 2014. Please check our signs, website and Facebook page because our times and dates will be posted. Participants must be registered for these activities so that we know what plans we need to make and what supplies we need. This will ensure a fun experience for everyone. It is not necessary to commit to every week as we know that is difficult to do during summer holiday time.
