Column: At the Library
From: Cranbrook Public Library
By Mike Selby
Melvyn Bragg attempts to discover just how a minor Germanic language evolved into the global force it is today in his three-DVD-set “The Adventure of English.”
“Solitary” is Alexander Gordon Smith’s sequel to “Lockdown,” continuing the suspensful stories of teens trapped in a future jail.
Preschool Story Time this Wednesday at 11:00 am, 1:15 pm, & 6:30 pm, and Toddler Story this Friday at 10:30 am will be all about Kites!
The Library is reviewing its hours of operation to learn how we can better meet the needs of our community. We would love for you to visit the Library more, so let us know what works best for you! You can fill out the quick survey at the Library itself, or take it online at: http://www.cranbrookpubliclibrary.ca/.
The Library is currently offering one on one computer training sessions for anyone who is interested in any aspect of computers and the internet. Training is available on Tuesdays and Fridays. Please contact the Library to book a session, or contact Jenna at 426-4063 for more information.
Don’t forget to come and check out Paul Ferguson’s incredibly detailed and beautifully made wooden car and truck models. A retired carpenter, Paul has been creating these stunning works for over 25 years. The Library will be displaying them all month.
