DRAG STORY TIME FUN!

We had another super fun Drag Story Time thanks to our amazing performers King Luke and Queen Violet! We read “Oh the Places You’ll Go” by Dr. Seuss, “The Art of How Dogs Sleep” by Alison Kim,  “My Maddy” by Gayle E Pitman, “47 000 Beads” by Koja & Angel Adeyoha,  and more! Following the stories, we made our way to the Municipal Board Room and did a very cool craft that was all about celebrating PRIDE! Thank you to all who participated in this fabulous event and again thank you to our performers for making the drive from the Sault! We had a blast and hope you did too!

STORY WALK IN THE PARK! We were so thankful that the rain held off so that we could move forward with Story Walk in the Park. It turned out to be a beautiful day and perfect for this event. A huge thank you to Jocelyn Sager from Early ON, Kevin Sabourin from the Wawa Fire Department, Andrea Curtis and Anne Owen, our library volunteers, for taking time to help with this event! You were instrumental in making this a success.
If you missed the Story Walk, you can come to the library and walk along the side and front of the Municipal building or you can also check out the book with your library card. Colette the Solitary Bee/Colette n’a besoin de personne is the title and available in English and French. We hope you enjoyed the event and we hope to do it again next year!
