The library will be closed from Friday, December 24th. to Monday, January 3rd. Our librarian, Lynda Winfield, has put together craft “take and make” kits for the children, which would give hours of creative fun over the holidays.
She has also been helping patrons retrieve and print their QR codes for vaccinations at no charge. The codes are posted to our webpage and to our Facebook page as well. The High River Library can laminate them for you at $1.00 a card.
We have an exciting new arrival at the library. It is Indian in the Cabinet: Speaking Truth to Power by Jody Wilson Raybould. Jody is Canada’s first Indigenous Minister of Justice and Attorney General in the Liberal Government. She writes of her experience as an Indigenous leader in the cabinet table and of her belief in a better way to govern. Another arrival is Wild Roses are Worth it: Reimagining Alberta Advantage by Kevin Van Tighem.
A warm hearted read is Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles, author of a Gentleman in Moscow. It is a whimsical, yet profound story about what is important in life. It is the story of Emmet Watson, an eighteen year old, and his young brother Billy who set out across the the midwest in search of their mother in San Francisco, after the death of their Father. The characters who join them along the way are warm and endearing.
We wish you all a Happy and Healthy New Year.
Happy Reading!
