Story Time
Listen! Laugh! Read! Sing! Come to the Library’s preschool story time every Wednesday morning at 10:30. No reservation is necessary. All children must be accompanied by a caregiver. It’s loads of fun for everyone. Join us.
Book Clubs
It sounds kind of regimented and orderly, doesn’t it? But judging from animated discussions and the howls of laughter emanating from the corner table in the Library, our book clubs are anything but. You have two clubs to choose from, or choose both.
The Afternoon Book Club meets at the Library every third Thursday of the month at 1:30 p.m.
The Evening Book Club meets at the Library every first Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m.
If you need to get a copy of this month’s book and the Library doesn’t have one available, please make your Interlibrary Loan request online or by contacting the Library.
See our Events Calendar for details of upcoming meetings.
Finally, here are links to some great book club resources.

Most of us at the Library are big readers, too. Every so often we tell you a few of our favourites and why in a publication called, Staff Picks. Library Assistant, Judy Steffens puts this all together for you. Copies may be viewed here or you can pick up a paper copy in the Library. All the books we pick are available in the Library, too.
