GRANDMA STORY TIME-What another fun Grandma Story Time! We give a big SHOUT OUT to our amazing grandmas who volunteered to read stories and help with the Mother’s Day craft! We thank you so much for making Grandma Story Time such an amazing event! The kids were all so great while Grandma Sandi, Grandma Anne and Grandma Debbie read their stories. Then, the children had a great time making beautiful, flowered canvas wall art for their moms or someone special! They did a wonderful job. We also had the lucky winner for the Mother’s Day Gift Draw! Thank you to all who participated and we would like to wish all the mothers a very happy Mother’s Day!!

Check out all the wonderful programs and events planned for this Month of May 2026!

THANK YOU TO THE ALGOMA ELEMENTARY TEACHER’S FEDERATION OF ONTARIO (Sir James Dunn Wawa) for your generous donation to the Wawa Public Library. This donation funded most of the cost of this new BeaverBot and the balance is thanks to all of the small donations we receive.

Beaver Bot cutter is a tool that lets children safely transform everyday cardboard into anything they can dream up, from graphics and castles to endless creative possibilities! The BeaverBot is able to cut regular paper, fabric and cardboard! This will be a great asset to all our craft programs! Thank you to Algoma ETFO!

We are beyond grateful to the Rotary Club of Wawa for this amazing donation! We were turning on our AWE Learning Computers a few weeks ago and realized that one of them wouldn’t work anymore! These computers are so important and well-used in the library! Kids are using the AWE computers during our Tot Time, before and after the Afterschool and Summer Programs and many families come in on random Saturdays and evenings to play and learn. If there is a child in the library, they have accessed the AWE computers! When we reached out to the Rotary Club, we didn’t have to wait long to receive this fantastic news! This amount will cover the cost of the new computer, stand, keyboard and headphones! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for your support for children, literacy and learning and the Wawa Public Library.
