Hi Grand Folks!
I have some announcements and some news; here goes:
Overdue fines for children no more
There will no longer be any overdue fines for children’s material! That includes books, storytime boxes, DVDs, read-alongs, board books and comics. This will apply to items that are borrowed as of now, but not those that were borrowed, say, last week. And also, please note that you will still be responsible for lost or damaged items.
Friends of the Library book sale
We’re gearing up for another massive book sale, so be sure to mark your calendars – it will run from April 25 to 27.
A Cowherd in Paradise
May Q. Wong, author of A Cowherd in Paradise, will be at the Christina Lake Living Arts Centre on Friday, April 12 from 2 to 3:30 p.m. She’ll be reading from her book, the true story of a couple who were married for over half a century but were forced to live apart for 25 years because of Canada’s immigration laws.
"Get your newspapers here!"
We have lots of them so come by and read them any time you like. We have subscriptions to the Grand Forks Gazette, the Globe and Mail, the National Post, the Vancouver Sun, The Province and the Kelowna Daily Courier.
Placing holds
We are happy to inform you all that holds can now be placed on magazines. Current issues still cannot be borrowed, but you can always put them on hold so that you can borrow them as soon as possible!
Easter holidays
The Grand Forks and District Public Library will be closed this Friday (March 29) and Saturday (March 30). Happy Easter!
– Avi Silberstein is library director for the Grand Forks and District Public Library
