Movies or Books?

Posted on November 19, 2017 by cowleyj

Many movies are based on books.  Which do you prefer: reading the book BEFORE you see the movie or AFTER?  Many new films based on books are currently in production, or have just been released.  Popsugar has compiled a list of 100.  We already have many of these titles in our collection.  Check our catalogue for many of these reads.  Let us know if the one you want to read is missing and we’ll see if we can order it.

Posted on October 26, 2017 by gladwind

Want an interesting and creative way to organise  your tasks and keep track of your life?

Join us for a workshop on how to make a bullet journal. It’s more creative and flexible than just making a list!

You can eat your lunch at the workshop. 

Where: the library makerspace

When: Monday, October 30th at lunch

Who: You, hopefully
