Worlds of Imagination is a reading program designed to spark creativity and encourage young readers to tap into their imagination through activities, books, crafts, and games. This theme encompasses the ideas of different worlds such as space, fantastical realms, the past and distant future, and much more.

Book Club In A Bag Kits Have you checked out our Book Club In A Bag Kits? Each bag contains 8-10 copies of the same title and can be borrowed for 6 weeks. Thanks to a generous donation from Inter Pipeline we have been able to expand our collection with 17 new kits! These kits are designed to foster literacy, connection, and meaningful discussions among readers of all ages within the community. One highlight of our new offerings is the book "True Reconciliation" by Jody Wilson-Raybould. This powerful work provides profound insights into the path toward meaningful reconciliation in Canada, making it an invaluable addition to our Library.
