An evening family storytime program that encourages mathematical thinking through playful learning and hands-on activites.

Engage, Encourage and Grow Together.

For young thinkers ages 3-6 and their adult co-learner.

The Granny Squares for Warmth (GSFW) group was created in November 2020 as a Barrhaven-based group with a mission to create and donate hand-made blankets in the Ottawa area. ​

In addition to blankets, members have also made and donated shawls, hats, and baby wear. ​

Join us to crochet and join granny squares, to share and learn crochet stitches and techniques and to build a sense of community by making blankets for those in need. ​
Everyone is welcome!

Drop in to our branch during the day and exchange puzzles with other members of our community.

Bring one, take one. Bring two, take two! 

If you are ready to let go of some gently used puzzles ahead of time, please drop them off at the desk on the 2nd floor starting June 12th during opening hours. This will help us prepare for the big day!

Come draw, paint or sketch using different art mediums.  You are free to work on your own projects or create a new one.  Note that this is not an art lesson but rather an opportunity to try out different art material while meeting other teens who enjoy art.  Books and videos will be available to provide ideas and inspiration.  You can register for 1, 2 or all 4 sessions  For ages 13-17.

Venez dessiner ou peindre en utilisant différents médiums artistiques. Vous êtes libre de travailler sur vos propres projets ou d'en créer un nouveau.
