Uxbridge Public Library Official Blog

Once again the Friends presented a cheque for $3,000 to the Uxbridge Public Library. The majority of the money comes from the book sales held throughout the year at the library and also includes Friends membership dues.  The library accepts the generous book donations year-round from Uxbridge residents and selects the books that are most needed by the library to replace used copies, add more copies of the more popular books or to add new titles to the shelves. Last year the donated books saved the library $41,960  (retail cost).  In the near future, the Friends will be donating $2,000 to the library for the purchase of a selection of BBC productions on DVD.

Join Yvonne Harrison as she shares her adventure – swimming with seals and sharks and trekking amongst the indigenous animals . She visited 12 of the 19 volcanic islands 1000 km west of Ecuador following in the footsteps of Darwin almost 175 years later. Since 1959 the islands form Galapagos National Park, dedicated to preserving the many unique species that live there — animals such as the huge 200 kg Galapagos Tortoise, land and marine iguanas, frigate birds, and the comical bluefooted booby. These enchanted islands are truly a magical place !  When: Wednesday, May 26 from 1:00pm to 2:00pm.  Where: Uxbridge Public Library Lower Meeting Room.
