At the Library for January 17th, 2017

Updated 2017/01/16

 

 

 

Celebrating ten years of columns he wrote for the Okanagan Sunday, ‘I Held My Breath for a Year’ is a collection of Stan Chung’s favourite work that resonated the most with his readers.

 

Greg Heffley thinks he has a plan to stop playing video games, celebrate Halloween, and make a home movie all at once in his 11^th misadventure ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Double Down.’

 

Preschool Story Time is this Wednesday at 11:00 am, 1:15 pm, & 6:30 pm, and Toddler Story Time is 10:00 and 11:00 am. Both will be all about penguins!

 

New this year is Baby Laptime on Fridays at 1 pm. This program is for babies who are not yet walking so a specific age is not really set—best approximation is under 1 year of age.  Since we do not have daycare for older siblings we ask that parents who have babies and children who are walking come to the toddler storytime instead of the baby laptime.

Come to the Annual Audio Visual and Magazine Sale of the Friends of the Library.  It will be located in the Manual Training School (adjacent to the Library) on Friday, Feb. 10^th 5 pm to 7 pm for Friends’ members only and on Saturday, Feb.11^th from 9 am to 4 pm for the general public. Donations are being accepted of magazines published since 2014 as well as dvds, cds, videos, audiobook and records. Cookbooks, craft books and children’s big books are also available. Please bring your donations to the circulation desk in the Library.  For further info call Louise at 778-517-1119.   We look forward to seeing you there!

 

FREE one-on-one tech training session for those of you who want to enhance your current computing skills. We cover many topics including Basic Tablet usage, Basic Computer usage, Windows 10 training, Window 8 + 8.1 training, Window 7 training, Microsoft Suit training, Library E book training, and much more. To register, please contact the Library at (250) 426-4063, or sign up at the front desk.

 

New at the Library is a 2000-piece jigsaw puzzle of Bavaria’s Neuschwanstein Castle. It is located in our reading lounge, so any and all puzzle enthusiasts are encouraged to come work on it.

 

On display this month is the breathtaking images of Ashlee Dawn Photography.
