PRIDE MUSIC NIGHT: Despite the downpours, we had an awesome PRIDE Music Night! A huge shout out to Dawn, Alex and Cynthia (Luc) for their great performances! We had a great time, laughing, sharing, and showing our PRIDE! Thank you to everyone who came out to support LGBTQ++, libraries, music, and local musicians! This PRIDE Music Night was dedicated to our friend Mia who will be forever remembered! The Wawa Public Library will be making PRIDE Music Night an annual event!

GRANDPA STORY TIME: We missed Grandpa Leo this year, but we also welcomed Grandpa Luc who did a wonderful job reading to the children. With the help of Grandma Lise, two fun Father’s Day Stories were read, and the children were very engaged! A big thank you to Grandpa Luc and Grandma Lise for coming in short notice to make our Grandpa Story Time a success! Following the stories, the children were invited to do a wonderful Father’s Day Craft! As you can see from the photos, the results were all unique and very well done! One of the participants was the lucky winner of the draw for a Father’s Day Gift package! Congratulations! Thank you to all who participated and Happy Father’s Day to all of the dads out there! Enjoy your special day!
