A little story of library joy from our Rockwood Branch, where we have vintage Franklin and Arthur posters on display. 🐢

Recently, a visitor told us something that stopped us in our tracks: he mentioned he's friends with Franklin's original illustrator! On a previous visit, he'd taken photos of our posters to share with her. Seeing those familiar illustrations, knowing they're still hanging in a library, brought her real happiness.

That made us pretty happy too.

It’s the perfect time of year to visit the Hillsburgh Branch and enjoy the beautiful outdoor grounds and nearby Elora Cataract Trail. While you’re there, stop into the library and take a look at two stunning paintings recently donated by local artist Annette Dyon, inspired by the trail near the branch. We think they make a wonderful addition to the kids’ area!

Staff pick! Jenn recommends 'Brawler: Stories by Lauren Groff':

"I don’t like short stories. Until I do. And I loved every one of these female forward tales. Shifting perspectives, decades and locations, each story still comes alive and transports the reader somewhere new and satisfying. A collection of beautiful vignettes of bold women doing ordinary, and not-so-ordinary things told with their extraordinary voices. And hey, May is short story month!"

Did you know games like cards, board games, and puzzles may help keep the brain sharp as we age? Borrow from our board game collection, add some pieces to a community puzzle, or play with friends at Scrabble Clubs at Aboyne and Puslinch Branch.

Games can also help loved ones with dementia. Our cognitive activity kits include puzzles and activity sheets that are fun to play together. Ask staff for details or request one through our catalogue.

Let's age actively together!
