One Year On at the Sheep River Library

The Sheep River Library opened its doors at its beautiful new location in Turner Valley almost a year ago and to celebrate that milestone and to showcase all that the library has to offer we are hosting an Open House on Saturday March 24th, 12-4pm. We encourage everyone to drop by and take in all the displays that will showcase the community groups that partner with the library to bring life-long learning programs to your door. If you are not already aware of all the programs the library offers this is your time to find out! Everything from career programs, film screenings, children's activities and groups who meet at the library will all have representatives on hand to talk to you about their programs and answer your questions. Many of the exhibitors are also offering door prizes and in addition to these the library will be offering two major door prizes of a Wii and a Kobo E-Reader. All you need to do to enter for the draw is turn up on March 24th and fill in a short questionnaire. Extra ballots can be earned if you bring in a non-library member and they take out a membership. Of course no event would be complete without snacks so coffee and goodies will be served. We look forward to seeing you!
In the meantime there are plenty of other reasons to drop into the library. February 16th's ChickLit Class is looking at Jane Eyre, a great classic by Charlotte Bronte. Drop by the fireplace table at 1:30pm if you are interested in being part of this group. Tuesday, February 21st we have Search and Rescue instructing “Adventure Smart”. If you want to know how to be safe in the outdoors then this is the class for you. Follow this up the next Tuesday (February 28th) with “Map & Compass Reading” if you really want to make sure you make it back home again. Mortgages Decoded will run on Wednesday, February 22nd at 7pm and the Law at Lunch teleconference on Separation and Divorce will be at noon on February 29th. Resume Writing will be held on Tuesday February 28th, 1-4pm with our wonderful McBride consultant. If you haven't updated your resume for a while then this class will be most helpful.
Don't forget all our regular weekly happenings such as Yoga (Thursdays at 9:30am), TIPS (Treasures in Progress Society) on Fridays at 10:30am, StoryTime (Thursdays at 2pm & Fridays at 10:30am) and the Board Game Club on Tuesdays at 4pm.
Due to the high number of people wanting to take both our Computer Basics and Social Media Courses, both of these courses will be run again in the future. If you missed out on them this time then look for them in the Fall.
