At the Library for February 27th, 2018

Updated 2018/02/26

 

 

In ‘Fernie at War’ Wayne R. Norton examines how the residents of Fernie entered the First World War full of national pride, only to realize“staggering losses and multiple controversies that threatened to tear their community apart.”

 

‘The Man & The Bear’ is a delightful and brightly illustrated book by Cranbrook author Jody Jacob.

 

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 “Hippos”.  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.
