We hope the kids enjoyed last week's movie. The next one will be The Karate Kid scheduled for August 12th at 2PM.
Thanks to everyone who brought their kids by for the first Summer Reading Program session! Nine kids showed up for the story, craft, and snack. Caregivers took advantage of the perpetual puzzle while the children crafted and played games. Please make plans to join us again this Thursday July 17th at 2PM for the next session.
The Summer Reading Contest has begun! Reading logs are available at the library for kids ages 4-12. There is a weekly prize for the child who reads the most minutes each week and a grand prize at the end for the one who reads the most minutes total. Minutes are due Wednesdays by midnight or can be handed in at the start of the Summer Reading Program sessions. Happy reading and good luck to all!
The online TD Summer Reading Club (www.tdsummerreadingclub.ca) is also ongoing which features fun online games and activities that promote reading. Pick up a registration packet at the library to get started!
Remember that the library will be closed for cleaning starting July 22nd and will reopen on August 5th.
The new language learning eResource, Transparent Language Online, is now available to all library cardholders! (This is the one that is replacing the former Pronounciator option). Transparent Language Online offers a learning experience in over 110 different languages and even provides apps so you can learn on the go. Access it through the library's website at www.acadialibrary.ca/eResources.
