Which Rink Does Make the Best Burgers?

In October, the Library celebrates Saskatchewan Libraries Week with a visit from “Rink Burgers “author Todd Devonshire and Dave and Leslee Whalley will be presenting on China. Story Time begins in October and this years theme is Letter Sounds.

The Library will be recognizing Saskatchewan Library Week (October 14 to 20) with a visit on Wednesday, October 17 at 6:30 pm by debut author Todd Devonshire and his book “Rink Burgers.” If you are interested in learning about the rinks around the province and which makes the best burgers—is it Shellbrook, Canwood, Debden, Big River, or elsewhere?—join us to find out. While you are here, you can also pick up a signed copy of the book for yourself or as a gift. If you wish to know more, visit Devonshire’s website at www.rinkburgers.com. Refreshments will be served (but sadly, no burgers).

The Library invites you to come join us on Thursday, October 25 at 7:00 pm when Dave and Leslee Whalley bring China to Saskatchewan. Dave will present the “Differences and Similarities between Christianity and Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism” and Leslee will be our tour guide on the exciting culture, people, and sights of Hong Kong. Refreshments will be served.

Children’s Story Time will start October 5 for the Fall 2012 season on Fridays at 10:30 am. We welcome all comers, old and new and are sure you will have fun listening to good stories and making fun crafts. This year’s theme is Letter Sounds with each week covering two letter sounds. By the end of October, children will have 7 consonants and 1 vowel to read their first words. If you are interested in volunteering your time to read or do crafts, please contact Alanna at 747-3419.

Shellbrook Library hours are Monday 2:00pm - 6:00pm, Tuesday and Wednesday 2:00pm - 8:00pm, Thursday 2:00pm - 6:00pm, and Friday 10:00am - 4:00pm. Weekly library hours are determined annually by materials checked out; the more materials checked out, the better. The Library continues to offers free computer and Internet access to the public even with the cancellation of the Community Access Program (CAP) in March 2012
