Welcome to my first ever posting . . . Woo hoo! Marion the Librarian learns the basics of social software! Late as usual. Anyhow. . . we are in the midst of a very busy summer here at Forestburg Public Library in beautiful downtown Forestburg, Alberta. From new shelving to a used book sale to the kids exploring Lost Worlds in the Summer Reading Program, there's a lot going on around here!
On Thursday August 16 we will celebrate 100 Years of Libraries in Alberta with a concert - two singer/songwriters - BRENDA BEREZAN from Whitehorse and BARRY HERTZ from Calgary. Should be a great mix of folk songs and cowboy poetry. Book draws and refreshments. Tickets are $10 each or $30 for a family, available at the Village Office, the Library, or at the door. Big Knife Villa Multi-Purpose Room, 7:30 p.m.
Teens, looking for something to read? Check the book lists at www.teensrc.ca Sign up and post book reviews to win great prizes (even iPods are on the prize list!). Over 40 teens from the Parkland Regional Library area have joined. There are discussion groups and opportunities to post your own writing as well.
No Teen Thursdays on August 9 or 16 - we'll celebrate CHRISTMAS in AUGUST on August 23rd. Phone the library to sign up for this event.
The Lost Worlds summer reading program groups are going for scavenger hunts at the museum on Wed. August 8th.
