This summer, Merrickville Library is introducing Art Workshops for Kids in memory of artist Brenda Carter and her kind bequest to the library.
Join us on Sat, July 10 at 10:30, to learn some art techniques and paint an awesome jungle mural to hang in the library. This free workshop is open to all kids, but space is limited, so please contact the library (613-269-3326) to register.
Watch for another Art Workshop in August.

Summer Reading Club is Here!
Calling all kids to our “Destination – Jungle” TD Summer Reading Club! This is an annual program provided free by the Toronto Dominion Financial Group.
Kids joining the Club receive a theme poster, activity book, & stickers - plus a reward every time they return the books they’ve read! Club members can drop by anytime to pick up new books and enter their names in weekly draws for posters. Collect all 9 stickers to be eligible for our Prize Draw at the end of the summer. Kids can also visit our “Club House” – with board games, puzzles, a puppet theatre, and do-it-yourself crafts - available to enjoy during all library hours!
Starting July 8, the library will also offer a craft/activity program on Thursday afternoons (1:00 – 2:30 pm) to give kids a chance to pick up new books & keep reading. Summer activities include: building a jungle mobile, games, and a special visit by Andrea Howard “The Bug Lady”.
Summer reading programs have been shown to preserve and enhance literacy skills over the summer - they encourage kids to read for pleasure and develop the reading habit. Call the library (613-269-3326) to register or for more information.
