The Shellbrook Public Library would like to inform you of some exciting policy changes and invites you to learn about the online ebooks and audiobooks at Library2Go. Laura Lepard offers a health presentations with a focus on cancer and diabetes. The Parkland Pens Writers Group meets every month at the library and is always open to new members. Storytime continues to march forward through the letters sounds Friday mornings.
March marches in with a slew of changes to Wapiti Regional Library’s borrowing policy that are all in the borrower’s favour. Big film watchers be able to borrow DVDs from outside the region now. So if you want a DVD that only Regina has, bring it on in! DVD TV series will now be kept together by season and not separated into individual disks. (For all DVDs the 1 week loan period remains the same with two renewals if there are no holds.) Magazines are now available with a 1 week renewal. Book hunters will be pleased that their allowable numbers of holds has doubled from 50 to 100. There is also a new category in the online catalogue “Popular Picks/Hot Picks/I Feel Lucky”. These items are for “in-person pick-up only” at the branch listing them.
On Tuesday, March 12th at 2:30 pm Wapiti Regional Library’s Youth Intern, Corey Desjarlais, will be doing a presentation on Library2Go.sk.ca. Library2Go is the Library’s online ebooks service and the presentation is a step-by-step guide on Library2Go for anyone who is interested in ebooks or ereaders.
March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month and the Library invites you to join us on Tuesday, March 12th at 7:00 pm for “Diabetes and Cancer.” Laura Lepard will share material from Tim Riesenberger’s DVD as he discusses diabetes and cancer connections with diet. Carcinogenic-free refreshments will be served.
Writers become writers by writing. If you are looking for a community to begin writing in, or if you would like to do more writing, the Parkland Pens Writers Group meets at the Library once a month on every third Monday at 7:00 pm. Local writers gather together to discuss how their writing is going, or not going, and to participate in fun timed writing challenges selected by that meeting’s leader. If you would like more information call Alanna at 306-747-3419 or drop by the Monday, March 18th meeting.
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. 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.
