March will blow in like a Munsch for Millarville Community School and Millarville Community Library. During the first week of March, “Munsch Madness” will celebrate the beloved children’s author, Robert Munsch. He first published The Paperbag Princess 40 years ago. Did you know that it was banned when it first came out because it was too scary for kindergarteners and it was anti-family? Thank goodness the independent little princess has stood the test of time.
Another favourite children’s author, Jan Brett, will be heard at Kelley Nutbrown’s storytime in March. The date has been moved up to March 19th so do make a note on your calendars. Come at ten o’clock to hear about a little hedgehog’s adventures.
The art on the walls of the library will be changing again in March. The Oilfields Junior Photography Class will be sharing a collection of their photographs. This provides a unique opportunity to see the world through the eyes of teenagers.
Our library is in the process of changing magazine subscriptions and we are asking our patrons for their opinions. When you come to the library you will find a selection of magazines on quilting, knitting, crocheting, and other sewing activities. Check them out. Your comments will help decide future library subscriptions.
This month we’ve asked another local book club, the Exhausted Mom’s Literary Support Group, for a good pick. Their suggestion is The Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. Henrietta was a poor Southern tobacco farmer who died young from cancer. Her cells, taken without her knowledge, have been used for decades to discover numerous disease cures. As you might guess, there are other discoveries that can be made from a reading of this book.
