Next summer we will be celebrating North America's favorite summer pastime - BASEBALL. Check out materials from home base (the library), sign up for a dugout pass and join team members for a summer of fun. Collect baseball cards for the books you read and become a big league reader by the end of summer.

COMPUTER CLUB

During the summer months the library offers a computer club for school aged children. The children can play games, write messages, search the many CD ROMS the library has and 'on occasion' surf the net! There are four public access computers available for use and a staff member to help them enjoy their computer experiences.

FAMILY FUN NIGHTS

The library hosts approximately eight family entertainment evenings a year. Professional entertainers from throughout Alberta give a variety of performances.
