Do you have children ages 5-8?  Would you like them to read more?  Then join our weekly Reading Buddies program.  Each child will be paired with a teen volunteer for fun and interactive read aloud sessions.  Together they will share the joys of reading in a friendly, encouraging and enthusiastic environment.  Registration required.    

Join us each month for discussions on mystery novels! From cold-blooded murders to humourous whodunnits, come meet fellow mystery enthusiasts as we chat about the pre-selected book.

When you register for a session, there is no need to place a hold on the book! A physical copy of the book will be available for you to pick up from the branch. If you would prefer a different format such as an e-book, audiobook, or large print, please click on the title link below to place a hold through your own account.
