To celebrate Ontario Public Library Week, special activities have been planned in and around the Uxbridge and Zephyr Public Libraries, FREE of charge:
‘For the Love of Reading’ Book Chat
Busy professionals who are on their lunch break, or, residents simply looking to have a literary discussion with others, are invited to chat about books they have read ~ are reading ~ or would like to read! B.Y.O.L. (bring your own lunch); beverages hot and cold will be provided.
* If this type of activity sounds like a fit for you, please come along to this inaugural gathering which will continue, if interest is sufficient, on the first Tuesday of each month.
Storytime for Children
Listen, laugh and learn! Discover great books, rhymes and/or songs. 18 months to 8 years old.
Storytime for Children ~ French
Le même, en français!
OPLW Reading Challenge
The challenge is simple… children try to read seven or more books, teens/adults to read at least one book… between October 15 – 21. Fill out a ballot listing the books you read by end of day Saturday, October 22, for a chance to win a ‘cool’ prize! Winners announced October 23.
Sidewalk Chalk Talk
Time to get creative and use that imagination! Help us celebrate libraries by writing or drawing a library-themed word or two on the sidewalks surrounding our libraries. Coloured chalk available at the circulation desks. Ages 1 – 99!
Library Patron Appreciation Open House
Stop in for refreshments and treats… and see what new items and services await at your neighbourhood library!
