Sometimes when we read about BIG emotions, it also helps us to understand our own feelings and emotions better too. You can find all kinds of wonderful books at the library to help you prepare for the new school year ahead. Let us know how we can help.

As we transition from summer reading to fall reading fun, Whitbourne Public Library would like to take this opportunity to thank all who attended or signed up for the TD Summer Reading Club this summer.
