he library is open and it’s warm and there are some fun activities for children and families coming up in the latter half of January!
Bring your picnic supper to our Family Film Cafe on Tuesday, January 23 at 7:00 p.m. and enjoy the film Leap! with your family!

You have two opportunities to warm up at our World Dance Party that features dance music from around the world! A morning session will be held on Friday, January 26, at 10:45 a.m. for little ones and preschoolers accompanied by an adult caregiver, and an evening session with a slightly longer playlist will be held on Tuesday, January 30, at 7:00 p.m. Please register if you plan to attend the evening session.
Finally, there is a Gel Press Art Class for children ages 4 to 8+ years with a parent on Wednesday, January 31, at 7:00 p.m. We’ll make snowy scene monoprints plus use a special technique to paint a snowman. Space is limited, so please register if you wish to attend.
