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.

Author Nettie Balzar Coming to Shellbrook Public Library
The Shellbrook Public Library welcomes author Nettie Balzar who was a former resident of Shellbrook. In September we invite you to once again join Laura Lepard as she offers her health presentation and see the local artwork on display.
The Library invites you to visit with author Nettie Balzar on Thursday, September 5th at 7:00 pm. Balzar, a former residence of Shellbrook, has written a book about her mother's life entitled; “Helena: A Peek into the Past.” Helena Banman, the oldest of eleven children, was born on August 22nd, 1898 in the Mennonite Village of Kleefeld, located on the West Reserve in southern Manitoba. Her parents, Julius and Helena, were poverty stricken immigrants from Russia so the children were farmed out to work for others in order to help out financially. Helena was only ten years old when she went to work as a maid. In spite of difficult times throughout her life, her faith in God, her sense of humor and determination to persevere, built her into a strong woman. The book is a series of fictional stories based on actual events, dates and stories she and her sisters told their children about, and it depicts what life was like in the early 1900's. Books will be available for purchase at $20.00 at refreshments will be provided.
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 “Fish is Good for Your Heart.” Lepard will share her story and family’s experience with a whole-plant based diet and serve up a tasty plant-based meal of sushi.
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.
