Thompson Public Library

Hello Thompson!

We will be starting to get back into the swing of things around here with you as the youth return to school.

Tuesday Storytime will be returning but we are going to try 4PM time slot, we are hoping this might work for some families. Saturdays is going to stay at 10:30AM.

Gaming Club is returning, our first meeting being Tuesday September 1st at 5 to 6:30PM. This is open to all ages and is held in the basement multipurpose room, feel free to bring your own games and controllers but we do have a Nintendo Switch and basic games such as MarioKart for anyone to use.

Parents and Tots will be back this coming week as well starting Friday September 4th; this is a parent-led program for stay-at-home parents or parents of young kids to get out of the house and connect with others at the same life-stage as them. This will be held every Friday at 10AM to 12PM.

Our Kids' Book Club is returning as well! For ages 8-13, boys and girls, every Wednesday starting September 2nd at 5 to 6PM. We will be reading a book as a group and then discussing the book. If your child is an avid reader and needs practice speaking in public or sharing their ideas, this is a perfect space for that. See the attached poster for more details.

Of course our lovely Dr. Atmika will be continuing Yoga through September, every Saturday at 4:30 to 5:30PM in the basement multi-purpose room. This is for ages 16+ and costs 15$ a class. Well worth it to learn from a very talented and knowledgable Yoga expert! See the attached poster for more details.
