The South Marysburgh Mirror LIBRARY NEWS By Christine Renaud Summertime is always a fun-filled time at the library and this July and August should prove to be no ex- ception with a wide variety of family activities at all branches. “GO!” is the theme of this year’s Children’s TD Summer Reading Club with events and activities focusing on the world and travel. Please come in and encourage children to sign up for the Reading Club. There are prizes to be won! On July 5" at 2:00 p.m. at the Milford branch, we will “Celebrate Russia” and listen to that country’s music, learn about its culture, learn a few Russian words and about the traditional food of that land, too. Other lands will be celebrated at all six library branches throughout the month. On Tuesday, July 23" at 2:00 p.m., the library presents a very special guest at the Milford Town Hall. Canada’s premiere female ventriloquist, Yvette Locke, will entertain young and old as she and her puppet friends travel from one country to another in a race around the world. The show is free and suita- ble for all ages. On Saturday, July 27, a creative hands-on Innovators’ Workshop focusing on science and tech- nology will take place from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon at the Milford branch. The free workshop is for youth 10 to 14 years old. For details, contact Whit- ney by e-mail at: wlee@peclibrary.org or call 613- 476-5962. The full printed schedule of family activities for the summer is available at any branch of the li- brary and the online version is on the library’s web- site at: www.peclibrary.org.

This year’s Liam Garrett Memorial Teen Sum- mer Art Show at the library is now accepting submis- sions. All mediums are welcome from pencil drawing to sculpture. Anyone from Grade 6 up to the age of 19 may enter. Pieces will be on display throughout the summer in the Picton branch and there are priz- es to be won, too. Submission deadline is Saturday, July 13. Pieces can be dropped off at the Milford branch and we will arrange transfer to Picton. The Teen Art Show reception takes place at the Picton branch at 11:00 a.m on Saturday, July 20 and every- one is invited to view the show and meet judges Milé Murtanovski and Nell Casson. The Adult Intermediate French Club contin- ues to meet on Tuesdays at 2:00 p.m. at the Milford branch in the summer. Lastly, the Ann Farwell branch is beginning a fundraising campaign to improve the front entrance of the library, specifically the lawn area. We are looking for ideas for what might be done and how funds might be raised to accomplish the improve- ments. Those interested in getting involved are asked to contact me at 613-476-5962 or drop into the branch to leave your name and number. | can also be reached by e-mail at crenaud@peclibrary.org. As always, we welcome any ideas for the li- brary, so please let me know if you would like to have a group formed or a workshop or a lecture pre- sented on any topic of interest. Remember, we also have a great selection of books and movies to be enjoyed all summer long. Note: We are now open Wednesday evenings.
