Wapiti Regional Library is culling its VHS movies and the Library is selling its collection. To tempt you, it has an interesting Top 10 Most Watched VHS Movies list to share. In August we invite you to once again join Laura Lepard as she offers her health presentation and see the local artwork on display.
The Wapiti Regional Library System has begun to phase out VHS videos and cassettes tapes. The Library has removed the VHSs from its catalogue and the discarded movies are part of its ongoing book sale with the unbeatable price of a good-will donation.
Based on statistics from 2010 to 2013, the Library has an interesting selection of Top 10 Most Watched Movies at the Shellbrook library. For the adult movies, dancing in at number ten was Shirley Temple in “The Littlest Rebel.” Tied at number nine were the talking mule of “Francis in the Haunted House” and Dirty Harry’s “Sudden Impact”—which we can safely say, went ahead, and made someone’s day. Slipping into number eight was “Grease” with the separate-in-babyhood twins of “The Parent Trap” (both played by Lindsay Lohan) claiming number seven. At number six was the beagle and boy story of “Shiloh” and “Shrek” shrieked in at number five. The Halloween feature “Hocus Pocus” witch-ed its way to number four and undoubtedly at number three was “Mrs. Doubtfire.” “Cool Running” slid into the number two and stomping to the number one spot was “Godzilla.”
For the children VHS movies, at number ten was “Pocahontas” and the very friendly “E.T. : The Extra-terrestrial” was number nine. At number eight was “Heidi” and soaring into number seven was “Flight of the Navigator.” Joisting in a tie at number six was “Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book” and “A Little Princess.” “The Chipmunk Adventure” chirped and chipped their way into number five and the double-feature of “The Berenstain Bears: No Girls Allowed & The Berenstain Bears and the Missing Bone” denned up at number four. A spook-tacular friendly face showed up at number three, “Casper: A Spirited Beginning” and “Enchanted Tales: Anastasia” gracefully took number two. The children’s VHS that swanned into the number one place of most watched was “The Swan Princess.”
The Library is hosting a collection of seven local artists: Lorraine Adamson, Sharon Buckingham, Christle Carey, Bonnie Denny, Estelle Dowes, Ellen Nesdoly, and Carolyn Nording. Come view a triptych of sky as stormy as ours have been or of a woman expressing glee and the many more scenes.
On Tuesday, August 13th at 7:00 pm Laura Lepard will share materials from Doctor John McDougal and Mary McDougal (www.drmcdougall.com). The topic is “Intestines from the Beginning.” Lepard will share her story and family’s experience with a whole-plant based diet and serve up tasty plant-based refreshments.
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 which can be easily set up during your next library visit.

“Obsolete Spaces” Fills Art Space
 |
| Librarian Alanna Carswell stands in front of a section of the Shellbrook Art Council sponsored Organization of Saskatchewan Arts Councils’ touring exhibition featuring work by artist Wendy Wessen. |
The Library is home for a little while to Wendy Weseen’s art exhibition “Obsolete Spaces”. “In this exhibition, Weseen explores the abandonment and decay of homes and buildings in rural Saskatchewan” through three-dimensional art boxes. The collection has generated interest because of the amazing detail and depth captured. This collection has been brought in by the Shellbrook Art Council and it is the first to be displayed on the new clipboard gallery installed by the Council in April. Weseen’s exhibition is touring through the Organization of Saskatchewan Arts Councils’ (OSAC) “Arts on the Move” program. The aim of OSAC is to provide quality exhibitions to communities that will enhance awareness and appreciation of Saskatchewan and Canadian artists.
On Tuesday, May 14th at 7:00 pm Laura Lepard will highlight how to lose weight effortlessly by sharing materials from Doctor John McDougal and Mary McDougal. Visit their website www.drmcdougall.com to learn more and sign up for their free newsletter. Lepard will share her story and family’s experience with a whole-plant based diet and serve up weightless refreshments.
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. We have “quh” for queen coming up in honour of Mother’s Day. If you are interested in volunteering your time to read or do crafts, please contact Alanna at 306-747-3419.
