Join us for a relaxing afternoon, with a craft and a cup of tea. All supplies will be provided. All skill levels welcome. In this session, we will be working with cotton cord to create macrame key chains.

This is a group for people who love to write.

Participants meet every second Saturday to discuss all things writing, whether it be highlighting their work, exchanging feedback or above all else, sharing their passion for the craft.  Practitioners from all skill levels and writing genres are welcome.

Registration preferred. Drop-ins are welcome.

Learn how to more effectively tell the story of your vacations through pictures. Regardless of what kind of camera you use (cell phone, tablet, DSLR, etc.), Lynda Buske from the Ottawa PC Users' Group and the Orleans Photo Club will show how to use light, foreground, people, framing, and more to create a descriptive picture that needs no captioning.

The Beaverbrook Branch is excited to welcome author Charlotte Gray, one of Canada's best known non-fiction writers, to talk about her most recent work, Passionate Mothers, Powerful Sons: The Live of Jennie Jerome Churchill and Sara Delano Roosevelt.
