The Library Escapes to Ecuador

The Shellbrook Public Library invites you to the library in March for an exciting Travel Club Night escape to Ecuador. The Library would like to remind parents that Friday morning Story Time is on and is open to all comers.

At the Travel Club Night on Tuesday, March 4th at 7:00 pm, you can escape to Ecuador through Joan Sommerfeld who has travelled there multiple times. She will share her amazing photos, interesting information, and travel tips. Culturally appropriate refreshments will be served.

Children’s Story Time is held 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 Serendipity so come and discover what surprises are springing from the craft box. 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 along with a wide ranging collection of online databases. The newest addition to the collection accessible for free is Ancestry Library Editions. Discover the records and clues your ancestors have left to be discovered in census, vital records, directories, photos, and other databases. Librarian Alanna has experience in Ancestry and loves family history challenges so do not hesitate to ask for suggestions. Note, Ancestry is one of the databases that can only be accessed from a library, unlike Consumer Reports.
