Library Offers Food for Mind, Body, and Soul

 The Shellbrook Public Library will be hosting Laura Lepard who will present “Forks Over Knives.” CBC is partnering with libraries across Canada for National Human Library Day. The Library would like to congratulate it’s Christmas Contest winners and remind parents that Story Time is not held during the cold month of January.

The Library invites you to come join us on Tuesday, January 29th  at 7:00 pm when Laura Lepard will present the documentary “Forks Over Knives.” Lepard says, “[I] hope people will come with an open mind to learn ways of becoming healthier.” The documentary demonstrates Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn’s findings that diseases like cancer and heart disease are food-borne illnesses and how we can change that by using our ‘forks’ so we don’t have to go under the ‘knife’ in treating chronic diseases. The study was also published as “The China Study” by T. Colin Campbell and it can be borrowed from your Library as a book or ebook. Fork appropriate refreshments will be served.

Ever had a burning question you wanted answered but didn’t know who to ask or feared it was politically incorrect? The Human Library was initiated to promote dialogue, reduce prejudices and encourage understanding by making Human Books available. On Saturday January 26th, CBC is partnering with libraries across the country for National Human Library Day. At the Regina one, you could check out a variety of Human Books, people you might not normally meet, for a one-on-one chat. There is also an online event (search CBC Human Library). If you see potential for a Human Library Event in Shellbrook, please let your librarian know.

During December the Library held a contest, challenging children and teens age 3 to 17 to read a Christmas themed story and enter their name into some prize draws. We say congratulations to our winners, Marcail Philp who took home “Frosty the Snowman” by Jack Rollins and Steve Nelson with illustrations by Rebecca Thornburg and to Sarra Hazelwood who won “How to Seize a Dragon's Jewel” of Cressida Cowell’s How to Train Your Dragon series.

Children’s Story Time is breaking for the cold month of January as no one likes being in their own rendition of “Thomas’ Snowsuit.” Story Time will resume on February 1st. If you are interested in volunteering your time to read or do crafts, please contact Alanna at 747-3419.

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. Would you like to bring back funding and keep public computer access for everyone? Drop on by the Library to sign a postcard to the Prime Minister.

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.
