Shelburne Library news GIANT BOOK SALE Wednesday, June 11 to Saturday, June 14 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. I have highlighted this event in large letters because we have had many queries lately about when we were having our next Book Sale. Well, here it is and I can assure you, you won't be disappointed. We have received so many excellent donations lately as a result of many folks spring cleaning or downsizing that our selection is amazing. So stock up on your cottage, beach or vacation reading. There is something for everyone. When we receive donations, we usually check first to see if we need to include them in our own collection and if not, they will be there on Saturday!! Children's Programs Watch for our change in summer programming soon Story Time – Friday at10:30 a.m. This will be the last one until July. Lego Club – is still happening on Wednesdays at 3:30 p.m. and we look forward to seeing youngsters there. NEW: Rainbow Loom Club – Join us at 6 p.m. every Thursday for this fun and creative time. Learn new patterns, try new colours and make new friends. We are all excited about learning the new techniques too. If you have some groovy ideas, you can teach them to us. Again this week, I will introduce some new databases: MANGO and KIDS INFO-BITS MANGO: How to access: http://www.shelburnelibrary.ca -> Resources -> Online Resources by subject -> Literature & Languages -> MANGO Languages So, if you have ever thought about learning a new language, or are new to Canada and looking to polish your English skills? Try MANGO, it couldn't be easier to start!

TIP: make sure your sound is on and your volume is up. If you are experiencing difficulties with opening the program, try using another browser. Again, we have some great children`s databases that make learning fun and help with the homework. Kids InfoBits How to access: http://www.shelburnelibrary.ca / Children's Resources / Kids InfoBits This database is a great tool for young researchers. It is targeted at children from kindergarten to grade 5 but is superb for all school aged children. It is an excellent source to expand on knowledge learned in school since there are vast amounts of data on subjects in the school curriculum fields of science, art, music, social sciences and more. When you click on a topic the screen pops up with options of books, photos, magazines and news around the world related to the topic. What is great about InfoBits is that you can email, print, cite and share through social media right from the page. It doesn't stop there; InfoBits can also read this information aloud to you and is great for any individual learning styles. Our new fiction books are listed here and we have also catalogued 30 new children's Non-Fiction titles. Check out our website.
