As we enjoy an unseasonably warm February as this article is written, we know that winter it not over here in the Foothills. March is traditionally our biggest snow month and it can be chilly. One consolation is that there are always books to be read and workshops to be enjoyed.
Our February seed starting workshop led by Lorraine Clark was a sell-out and participants honed their gardening skills and their anticipation for Spring. Thank you Lorraine!
Upcoming workshops include Designer Cookie Decorating with Sheila Woolner using professional cookie designs following the method as taught and sold by the English Company Biscuiteers. March 30.
Librarian Natasha will teach the basics of cupcake decorating using Pinterest designs (adults).
Edna Howdle will give an introductory Qi Gong and Sound Bath workshop.
As always check our Facebook or Instagram pages for more information or call to register 403-931-3917. And stay tuned for the 10th CanFilm Day on April which features National Film Board movies.
The library will be launching a fundraising arm of the library, Friends of the Millarville Library. Sometime in the Spring, watch for an Open House which is planned to build awareness of our library. Many newcomers to the area dont’t know that we exist right next to the school.
Spring Break is April 3-14 and reduced library hours will be posted.
Come into the library and admire our colourful dispaly of quilts from local artists while you browse some of our new additions for readers of all ages and tastes.
For mystery fans there are two great new books. Legendary storyteller Stephen King goes deep into the well of his imagination in Fairy Tales, a spellbinding novel about a seventeen-year-old boy who inherits the key to a parallel world where good and evil are at war, and the stakes could not be higher – for their world or ours.
And Peter May’s new book, A Winter Grave, is a gripping tale of a murder investigation set in May’s native Scotland, but in the year 2051 where warnings of climate catastrophe have been ignored leading to population displacement and immigration wars as refugees flood into habitable countries.
