The Shellbrook Public Library is promoting Family Literacy Day on Friday January 27. The Library would announce that it still has calendars for sale and Children’s Story Time is back in February.
Your librarian and ABC Life Literacy Canada encourage you to start or continue your family journey into literacy on this year’s Family Literacy Day. This is a national awareness initiative created by ABC Literacy to raise awareness of the importance of reading and engaging in other literacy-related activities as a family. The ABC Literacy site abclifeliteracy.ca/family-literacy-day offers a Journey to Learning Passport full of reading and math activities for home and outside the home. If you don’t have internet, just drop by the library and pick up a copy.
The Library is again selling its popular 2012 date log calendars for $6.00. Calendars are available at the Library or for sale at Woodland Pharmacy. Supplies are limited and going fast.
Children’s Story Time will resume February 3rd for the Winter 2012 season on Fridays at 10:30am. If you are interested in volunteering your time to read or do crafts, please contact Alanna at 747-3419.
