Sheep River Library - Fall Program Update

(Page 21)

Registration in the fall programs are doing quite well. Thank you for signing up early. The Kenya Travel Talk started off with 30 registrants, but more showed up at the door. (We can’t wait till the new library is built with larger classroom spaces) The repeat of the movie FRESH, scheduled for Thursday, September 23rd looks like it also will be a popular session. VISION 20/20, a presentation by David Campbell and Irene Velkova will recount their experience on how they dispensed self-adjustable eyeglasses to some of the most impoverished people in the developing world during their three-week outreach mission to Malawi, Africa. Join these volunteers on Tuesday, September 28th as they talk about A New Vision For the Developing World.
Kids! Families! The C.O.W (Classroom on Wheels) Bus is coming to town on Tuesday, October 5th. Allow the COW bus to take you on a journey into literacy. You will be amazed how many activities and ideas you will come away with. Plan to tour the bus when it arrives in the parking lot of the Sheep River Library.  Moms! Are you bringing your little ones to the free Book Buddy sessions every Wednesday afternoon? Although this program started on September 15th, new young readers are always welcome. This program is brought to our community through the cooperative efforts of Literacy for Life!
The McBride Career Group held an open house at the Library on Monday, October 20th. If you didn’t make it, check the library for program ideas that this organization can bring to our community. Two sessions are already planned for this fall - Career Planning on October 19th and Resume Writing on November 9th. Let us know what other programs might be useful to your career development and they will be offered next spring.
Over 200 Tiles have been painted and are ready for the TILES WALL in the new library. There is still room for over 100 more tiles so pick up your order form at the library and sign up for a paint day. Book Clubs, arts groups, service groups, families, memorial tiles, businesses - all purchased tiles! Be sure your family, group or business is recognized on this legacy wall. Call Friend of the Library, Holly for more information at 933-5811.
As you can see, as you drive down main-street Turner Valley, the Sheep River Library’s new home is coming along very well - on time and on budget! Have you noticed that the trades people building this new structure are LOCAL Trades people? Your library board is very proud of the fact that the Infrastructure Stimulus Grant money from the province and the Canadian government, and the money put forward, to date, by the town of Turner Valley, are helping build our local economy as well as building an excellent community facility. Thank you team!
The Community Archives cupboards are being built by our local millwright. Each cupboard will be able to house the minute books, treasurers records, and any other precious documents or memorabilia of local organizations and clubs at no cost. There are about 24 cupboards that can hold up to 4 totes. Each cupboard has a lock and will have your club name on a plaque on your door. Several clubs to date have expressed interest in having a central, secure place to keep records. Please call the library to sign up for a Community Archives Cupboard 933-7533.
