This month, the Library is hosting a Juice Jam music program for kids, in addition to our regular children's programs - plus, some great programs for adults!
Adult Programs:
Wellness Talk: "Food Matters" (Wed. June 12, 6:30 pm):
"With nutritionally-depleted foods, chemical additives and our tendency
to rely upon pharmaceutical drugs to treat what's wrong with our malnourished
bodies, it's no wonder that modern society is getting sicker."
This is the premise of the renowned
documentary "Food Matters". Join
Naturopathic Doctor Katie Weststrate at this month's Health & Wellness Talk, for a
screening and discussion of this film about the global
'sickness industry' and choices you can make to improve your health.
Off the Shelf! (Mon. June 17,
7:00 pm):
Join us for a special evening of Theatre
Night in Merrickville's Off the Shelf. This will be an "Open Mic Night"
where any member of the community is welcome to experience their 5-10 minutes
of fame! Don't be shy! Take your turn in the ultra-comfy
"Reader's Chair" and share a favourite short reading, poem,
monologue/dialogue, or other literary gem!
Contact Martin Green (613-269-3886) or the library if you are interested
in being a reader.
As always, light
refreshments will be available. This is
Off the Shelf's season finale (don't worry, it will be back in Sept.), so don't
miss it!
Wills and Power of Attorney Info Seminar (Thurs., June 20, 2:00 pm):
Wills
and power of attorney are something we all need, but many of us put off
thinking about. Join Leonard Max (from
Max Law) for an informative seminar
on these important subjects.
Children's Programs:
Juice Jam (Sat.
June 8, 10:30 am):
Polly Beach is back with another Juice Jam
music program - with singing,
rhythm instruments, lots of audience participation, and juice! - for ages 8
and under.
LEGO Club:
LEGO Club continues on Saturdays at 1:00 pm
in June. Come for a brick-filled hour of
building fun for ages 5 - 12.
StoryTime:
Join us Fridays at 10(ish) for stories,
songs & rhymes and a craft. The 1st Friday of the month is extra
toddler-friendly. New StoryTimers are always welcome.
Summer
Reading Club Coming Soon!:
Calling all kids to our “Go!”
Summer Reading Club for ages 5 -12 (sponsored by the TD Financial Group)! This summer-long reading program can be done
independently, or kids can join us for weekly crafts & activities. Summer reading programs
help prevent “learning loss” and improve reading performance - plus, they're
lots of fun. The TD Summer
Reading Club starts in July.
