Dear Reader,
The month of June is almost upon us. June at the Library means Wednesday Night events in our Green Space, Friday Farmer’s Markets, and Hot Dog Sales in Russell, (Friday), and Binscarth, (Thursday)!
Coffee, Cookies and Cards in Binscarth is set to take place at The Binscarth Library on the 3rd Thursday of June, (15). If you don’t drink Coffee, don’t eat cookies, and don’t play cards, don’t worry about it, come anyway! We have other drinks, other treats, and other games too! The idea is just to get together and enjoy one another’s company. Weather permitting, this time could even be spent outdoors.
Library manager, Christine Podollan, has been making weekly trips to Waywayseecapo to read The Secret Garden to a Class of Grade 5 of students. On May 19th, the last chapter of the book was read, a few tears were shed, (by the reader), and there were hugs all around as Teacher Quincy Courchene presented Christine with an enormous, beautifully hand-crafted Thank You Card, signed by each student. To share the gift of reading is what Libraries endeavor to do.
The Russell & District Regional Library is looking for talent to participate in an upcoming event (to be announced). If you play an instrument, sing, dance, perform spoken word poetry, or perform any other creative feat, please call the Russell Library: (204)773-3127 or email: ruslib@mymts.net.
Thank-you.
We are hosting an Annual General Meeting in the Russell Library Gallery on the evening of June 6th at 7pm. Looking for Board Members. If you are interested, please attend. Everyone welcome.
Happy Reading, Until Next Time,
The Library Ladies
