The Library has moved to a new website!
(but still with our same www.merrickvillelibrary.ca address)
The only downside is that you will need to sign up again to keep getting our updates on library activities and new books. But, all you need to do is go to our new webpage and enter your email address!
You can either:
- Use the "Follow Us" tab - in the right sidebar near the main menu (beside the upcoming events slideshow)
OR
- Use the "Get Email Updates" spot - near the bottom of the right sidebar (just under the green "Contact Us" button).
You just have to enter your email address in one of those spots, and you'll continue to be up-to-date with what's happening at the Library.
We'll see you over on our new site!
The Library will be switching over to our new website on Monday, May 2. Our website may be down at some point, while we make the switch.
Our web address will remain: www.merrickvillelibrary.ca. Please check out our new look - and find out what's happening in May!
Brenda Carter Memorial Art Workshop for Kids:
Join local artist Gloria Stowell and Kathy Brown to make "Name Bugs" using techniques of fine paper cutting and collage. Learn about colour theory and symmetry, while creating a 3-D flying bug on canvas.
For ages 8 and up. Registration required.
Movie Club:
The Library’s afternoon movies for adults continue. Bring a friend and enjoy a relaxing afternoon of big screen entertainment. New movie-enthusiasts are welcome.
This month's film is: Far from the Madding Crowd.
Off the Shelf! :
This month’s Off the Shelf theme is “Favourite Characters”. Join us as readers share selections featuring their beloved literary characters - who may also be yours. Off the Shelf welcomes new adult listeners for an evening of short readings and light refreshments.
Check out the Off the Shelf blog!
Youth Group Maker Space:
Are you a fan of the movie “Flushed Away”? Come to Youth Group and Azalea will show you how to make your own Slugs! For kids aged 10-14.
Is your child starting school this fall? Our weekly StoryTime is an excellent way to help your child get ready - by participating in group activities, practicing listening and pre-literacy skills, and developing enthusiasm for books.
The library also has concept books (letters, numbers, colours, shapes, etc.) and books with rhyme, repetition, phonics activities, and more to encourage language skills and early learning. Research shows that early literacy programs improve school readiness.
Join us Fridays at 10(ish) for stories, songs & rhymes and a simple craft. New StoryTimers are always welcome.
