Fit for Anything

Fitness classes run all summer at the Community Centre -- Tuesdays and Thursdays starting at 8.30 a.m.   Come and join in, a great start to the day (and you get to go home right past two excellent bakeries... what could be better :)  )

Yoga is offered Friday mornings from 9 to 10 a.m. with certified instructor Ingrid Bittner.  Just breathe...

Getting Wet... with Felt

Here's something new -- wet felting.  Carolyn Misener will introduce you to this craft on Wed. Aug. 17, from 10 to 3 p.m.  This is for beginners, who will learn the basics of wet-felting, while creating an ornamental cuff and bookmark.

Register, 705 635 3319.

Come out and see what it's all about.  

Stepping Stones

Sanday Brown returns to the library, August 16, at 10.30 a.m.  Children six and up will enjoy creating their own unique garden stepping stone.  Bring your own special items to help decorate  your stone:  beads, coloured rocks, coins, shells and whatever treasures you want to include.   Younger children can  join in provided they have a parent along to help.

Wear old clothes. You will get messy. That's the best part about making 'stuff'.

Please be sure to call and register. 705 635 3319

MISS PEGGY tells TALL TALES

Come for Storytime with Miss Peggy, Fridays at 10.30 a.m.   Little ones will enjoy the fun-filled imaginative stories told in Miss Peggy's own unique style.

Toys come out of the tickle trunk to act as props... and the whole experience is magic for little eyes and ears!

So much to Do! Starting with Stella and Dot!

Summer is here, and there's a LOT happening at your library.

Join us on August 17, for a unique fundraiser, with Halley Verity. Halley is a stylist with Stella & Dot jewelry. She will be with us from 3.30 to 5.30 to demonstrate the popular range of boutique style jewelry and accessories for women and girls.  Proceeds from the sale of items goes towards programming and materials for the library.

Come on out and see some of these truly beautiful and unique pieces of wearable art.
