The Shellbrook Public Library is excited to announce that it is ringing in the New Year with new hours.
Public libraries in the province are allocated certain hours of operation based on the number of items being borrowed, programs the library offers, questions asked of the librarian, using the computers, and groups that use the library for their events. Around the province and in Shellbrook the usage is up as libraries innovatively support the Information Age.
The Library would like to say thank you to the people and groups that have used the Library this past year and encourage you to continue. Your patronage has given the Library an additional hour in the week. The additional hour has been split between Monday and Tuesday for new hours in 2014 of:
Monday – 2:00 pm to 6:30 pm
Tuesday – 2:00 pm to 8:00 pm
Wednesday – 2:00 pm to 8:00 pm
Thursday – 2:00 pm to 6:30 pm
Friday – 10:00 am to 4:00 pm
Children’s Story Time program 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 7th. If you are interested in volunteering your time to read or do crafts, please contact Alanna at 306-747-3419.
Free computer and Internet access is offered by the Library to the public even with the cancellation of the Community Access Program (CAP) in March 2012. Also available are the many databases like world newspapers with Library PressDisplay (such as the P. A. Daily Herald and Saskatoon StarPhoenix), Consumer Reports online, and Ancestry Library Edition for getting started on discovering your family’s history. All you need to access the material is your library card and a PIN password which can be easily set up during your next library visit.
