The South Marysburgh Mirror ‘LIBRARY NEWS By Christine Renaud A new knitting group — Knit and Chat — is now meeting every Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the Ann Farwell branch in Milford. All levels of knitters are welcome. Come learn from experienced knitters or just come to knit and chat! Families with children might want to circle Saturday, October 11th on their calendars when all branches of the library will be celebrating “Star Wars Reads Day” from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. This is an interna- tional event, launched by Lucas Film and its publish- ing partners. It combines reading and the popular theme ‘Stars Wars’, a subject that has brought many reluctant readers to discover books. Stop in to the library to take part in a cosmic craft, show off your Star Wars costumes, and read or check out one of our many Star Wars titles. Those interested in learning how to use com- puters and computer programs will benefit from the new large screen television that will facilitate group computer training. If you would like to get more comfortable using computers, want to learn about social media, new software, or how to download books free from Overdrive - the library’s e-book con- sortium library - let us know. You can receive one-on -one training or get together with a few friends and we can tailor the training to whatever is of interest. The new large screen also means we can screen some online documentaries. Anyone interest- ed in having a monthly documentary showing, possi- bly followed by discussion, please contact me, or let a staff member know. Speaking of films, DVD movies in the collec- tion are becoming increasingly popular, and we are now expanding the selection to meet the demand. If there is a particular movie or show on DVD that you would like us to purchase, you can request it through staff at the desk (just as you can with books), or con- tact Barb Sweet at 613-476-5962 or by e-mail: bsweet@peclibrary.org. Finally, the library will be hosting a paper lan- tern-making workshop on Saturday, November 1* from 12 noon to 3 p.m. Workshops are being held at various locations throughout the County in prepara- tion for the Firelight Lantern Festival being held on November 15th at the Crystal Palace.
