Autumn programming at the Millarville Community Library is well underway with an exciting line up of events and activities, including these October happenings:
Plan to attend our Open House, Saturday, Oct. 14, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Enjoy crafts, story time read by local celebrities and VIPs, refreshments, entertainment, a fabulous raffle prize package, and more. Learn everything the library has to offer and drop off your refundables, as our annual bottle drive runs Oct. 12 to Oct. 15. The day’s very full line-up is on our Facebook page.
Meet acclaimed author Lecia Cornwall at the next author talk, Thursday, Oct. 19, 7 p.m. at the library. She’ll discuss her latest books, That Summer in Berlin and the Woman at the Front, which take place during the world wars I & II. Limited seating for this very popular author. Call the library to reserve your space.
Cupcake decorating is back just in time for Halloween. Learn how to create some spooky designs at this workshop for children six- to 12-years-old. Each child will take home six of their own yummy designs. Friday, Oct. 27, 6 to 8:30 p.m. at the library, $30. Space is limited. Call the library to register.
These exciting programs and events are hot on the heels of the September’s smashing events: the Really Big Book Sale (sponsored by Spisherbocker Books, Rona Black Diamond and Rancher’s Corner Cafe with proceeds funding new acquisitions and programming); and a very popular first workshop of the season—How to Cut Kids Bangs with Deb Elliot.
Coming up in November, Parents and Tots begins Friday, Nov. 3 at 10 a.m. Parents and their children, newborn to 5-years-old, can gather at the library for activities and conversation. Plus learn to make your own Christmas crackers with Sheila Woolner, also on Nov. 3, and much more.
We’re always adding programs and events. Check us out on Facebook @millarvillecommunitylibrary or visit millarvillelibrary.ca. Telephone to register for any of our programs at 403-931-3919. Or drop by. Open Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Wednesday, 9 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. We’re in the hamlet, beside the school, a member of the Marigold Regional Library system, serving Millarville and Priddis residents since 1975.
