Peace Library System's GROWING COMMUNITY CONTEST goes ALL MONTH at participating PLS libraries (like ours!)

We've been asking patrons to share one way their library has helped them grow, and the answers 🥲🥰🥹 y'all are making us weepy!! Sounds like you might love having US as your library as much as we love having YOU as our patrons!

Check out some of the ways our library is helping you all GROW (in the comments), and remember to stop in to submit YOUR COMMENTS, and be entered to win weekly draws for a $50 Visa Gift Card.

Congratulations to our FIRST weekly winner - PAISLEY GARNER! Could YOU be the next winner?!? Only if you're entered!

After-School Programs for Kids run EVERY WEEK!

Teens are invited to join us Tuesdays, and Kids (8-12) on Thursdays; 3:35-5:00. These programs are open to EVERYONE in the age groups (not JUST those that attend school in this building).

Parents are asked to RSVP prior to each session, so staff can plan activities and snacks accordingly.

Call or Text 780-354-2930 (or, if your child attends Elmworth School, send a completed After School Library Access Form to their teacher, in your child's agenda).

It's CANADIAN LIBRARY MONTH! To celebrate ALL the ways that libraries help individuals & communities GROW, you are invited to stop in and let us know ONE WAY that the libraries have helped YOU grow.

Write your answer on a leaf and stick it on the tree in our window. When you do - you'll receive a ballot and COULD WIN a $50 Visa Gift Card. Draws will occur Saturdays, October 10. 17, 24 & 31.

The trees outside are looking pretty bare - but with YOUR help, our indoor display will soon be filled with leaves of library gratitude - and FOUR OF OUR PATRONS WILL BE $50 RICHER!
