Visit to Maimonides

Hi, I just got back from visiting the Grade 2 class at Maimonides. What a great class! We went over how to use the library catalog and they are now experts :)

I read a few stories to them and we made ladybugs as a craft.

Thanks to Mrs. Pinsky for inviting me to her class.

Jennifer Lloyd

This morning we had the pleasure of having Jennifer Lloyd at the library. We had the grade 3 class from Merton attend the workshop. They were an amazing audience! Jennifer read from her 2 books - Looking for Loons and One Winter Night. After the readings, Jennifer had a craft for the kids to do which kept them quite occupied. A big thank you to Blue Metropolis for including us in their author tour and to Jennifer for coming to our library. I am looking forward to reading her upcoming books.

Authors, authors, authors

The Blue Metropolis Literature festival is now on! Last year they introduced a new component - children's literature. Our library is fortunate to have 3 amazing authors visit our facility this week. We have Jennifer Lloyd this morning, Monique Polak tomorrow and Anne Renaud on Sunday afternoon. Feel free to come and listen to them speak about their books and their writing process.

All you ever wanted to know about volcanoes

We are really lucky -the Redpath Museum is coming to the library on May 17th to talk about volcanoes. The museum always puts on a great show. At the end of their talk, we will make our own volcanoes and make them erupt. Should be a good time. Tickets are required for this event...$2.00.

Twilight on DVD

Yes, we now have Twilight on DVD! My personal opinion....the book is much better :)

Let me know your thoughts...movie or book? Which is better?
