Lynda, our librarian, has a very exciting Summer Reading Program lined up. We have purchased soft, cuddly animals to be given to each child in the program on the condition that they read to it every day. They will be given an adoption certificate and will be encouraged to let Lynda know how they and their furry friend are faring. She also will have a summer bingo card with small prizes.
The Book Club will have its first meeting in August. Watch for the date on the bulletin board. There are still seeds to be had in the free seed library.
Don’t forget to drop off your slightly used books for our sale at Longstock in August. If the library isn’t open the day you are there, just drop them in the book bin just outside the library.
The Month of May was Mental Health Month and June, National Indigenous Month. Recommended books on Mental Health are:
Get Out of Your Mind by Steven C. Hayes (phD) and It’s Not Supposed to Be This Way by Lysa Terkeurst. The story walk, celebrating the month of June, is It’s a Good Day Mother Earth by Sherri Shotclose.
New to the library is Eat Alberta First: A Year of Local Recipes From Where the Prairies Meet the Mountains, by columnist Karen Anderson. And, The Last Secret of the Secret Annex: The Untold Story of Anne Frank, her Silent Protector and a Family Betrayal ( non-fiction )
