At the Library for October 22, 2019

Updated 2019/10/22

At the time of his death, Stieg Larsson (‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) was investigating the assassination of Sweden’s prime minister in 1986. ‘The Man Who Played with Fire’ is a look at these files, and just how close Larsson was to naming an assassin.

Miranda Paul uses colourful illustrations to tell the story of a soon-to-be big sister impatiently waiting for a baby brother or sister in ‘Nine Months: Before a Baby is Born.’

Preschool Story Time is this Wednesday at 11:00 am, 1:15 pm; Family Story Time is Wednesday at 6:30 pm; and Toddler Story Time is 10:00 and 11:00 am. Both will be all about Counting!  Baby Laptime is every Thursday at 11 am.
