At the Library for December 12th, 2017

Updated 2017/12/13

 

 

Lorinda Stewart tells her harrowing tale of negotiating with Islamist insurgents who kidnapped her daughter in 2008 in her memoir ‘One Day Closer.’

 

While most kids in Canada need to be dragged to school (I was certainly one), education remains a distant dream for millions of children worldwide. Laura Scandiffio presents uplifting stories of those who—despite war, poverty, discrimination, and violence—found a way to be educated in her latest book for younger readers ‘Fight to Learn.’

 

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 “Snowmen”.  Baby Laptime Thursday at 10 am.

Please note there is always a Wednesday evening Story Time at 6:30 pm for ages 3 to 9 and their caregivers. Perfect way to unwind.

FOOD FOR FINES: For the entire month of December, the Library will be accepting donations of non-perishable food as payment for overdue fines. One item will be worth one dollar of fines. Any canned or boxed non-perishable food items will be accepted. All donations will be delivered to the food bank throughout the holiday season. This is a great way to get rid of those pesky overdue fines while helping others in need.
