Author Terry Chamberlain Coming to Shellbrook Public Library

Author and columnist Terry Chamberlain.

The Library welcomes popular rural Saskatchewan author and columnist Terry Chamberlain for a reading on March 26th. The Library would like to remind parents that Friday morning Story Time is on and is open to all comers.

The Library invites you to visit with author Terry Chamberlain on Tuesday, March 26th at 7:00 pm. Chamberlain was a teacher for thirty-two years and farmed during thirteen of those years. He has written two books, “The ABCs of Farming: A Lighthearted Dictionary of Stubble-jumper Jargon” and “The ABC’s of Retirement: How To Not Work and Love It.” The second and newest book is described by his publisher, Thistledown Press, as “a hilarious new guide to the various challenges, follies and pitfalls of retirement and the pleasures of loafing.” The reading promises to be humourous and refreshments will be served.

Story Time continues to sail forward following the “Anchors and Sails” reading program on Fridays at 10:30 am. With the healthy mixture of vowels and consonants presented, every new letter sound increases the number of words that can be read. This week adds “kuh” for kite and appropriately the craft is making a kite. If you are interested in volunteering your time to read or do crafts, please contact Alanna at 306-747-3419.

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.
