The summer reading program was a great success. The children were given fuzzy furry animals to read to over the summer. They checked in with our librarian, Lynda Winfield, to show that they were really doing so. They have them to keep, now that the summer is over.
There are two openings on the board. If you are fond of books and libraries, we would really appreciate if you would join us. If you are interested, and I hope you will be, speak to our librarian. We meet once a month and as well as getting business done, we have a lot of fun.
Coming up in October, is a 4 week course on Mindfulness, given by Kathryn Richmond (BED )… It is along the lines of the course on Conscious Aging, given at the library two years ago. Watch for the dates and times that will be listed on the bulletin board.
Also on the bulletin board is a list of popular books you can take out, using your TracPac account. If you don’t have one, have Lynda help you create one. She would be most happy to do so.
A good read is The Love of a Good Woman by Alice Munro, a well loved Canadian short story writer. She is the first Canadian author to have won the Noble Prize for Literature. Her stories are both moving and insightful and you are left feeling the characters are friends of yours.
