Author visits to the library
|
|
The first two authors in our Spring 2018 Author Talks series have been wonderful! On April 19, cultural historian Gregory Klages spoke about "The Many Deaths of Tom Thomson" and the fact and fiction surrounding this well-known artist's mysterious death. And on May 10, bestselling author Jennifer Robson was here to chat about her latest book "Goodbye From London" and the ins and outs of researching and writing a historical novel. |
|
The warm weather is finally here and we were able to get out on May 8 to update StoryWalk. The Healthy Kids Community Challenge theme is "Power Off and Play!" and our new story The Fabulous Friend Machine by Nick Bland will encourage you to do just that. To check it out, start at the Station Museum at 45 St. Paul Street and follow the Train Trail to Manning Avenue. |

Our volunteers are the best
|
|
We have an amazing group of volunteers at the Collingwood Public Library. They help out in all of our departments, arranging programs, inputting records, teaching kids, giving us their advice and knowledge, driving books to shut-ins, cataloging materials, and so much more. We held a reception on April 18 to let them know much we appreciate all their dedication and hard work. Thank you all! |
