Lots of glue and cutting for those who love using their hands. Come on by the library today! At 1:30, we are playing a Shark's Tale. Or you can sit in the kid's section and play some board games. Lots to do at the library today.

This Friday marks the August mid-way point. It also cues this Library's wrap up of the BC Summer Reading Club.
We hope you and your kiddos have enjoyed some summer reading time - and we'd like to reward your children for meeting their reading goals, and participating in the BC Summer reading club, with PRIZES - as supplies last.
We've got medals, stickers AND... gift cards for Fruitsicles from Salt Spring Fruitsicles! kids may choose one of each - meaning kids can leave with 3 things if they like! NOTE: medals are in shortest in supply, so it will be first-come-first served for those.

We're so sorry, but due to unforeseen circumstances, our makeup tutorial scheduled for today has been cancelled.

โ˜„๏ธThe height of the Perseid meteor shower will happen tonight after midnight, and until dawn. ๐ŸŒ 
Which means technically tomorrow, but in the wee hours of the tomorrow, and in the who's-even-awake-now-that-wants-to-call-this-a-new-day sense of tomorrow.
I think we'll try to check it out before bed. ๐Ÿ’ซ One shooting star, seen by all, and we can go in. Hopefully. :)๐Ÿ’ค
