We're Open Saturday!

03 September 2010

 Duffield, Entwistle, Keephills, and Tomahawk Public Libraries have extended their hours this fall in order to better meet the needs of the community!  
At a meeting last fall we asked you what changes you would like to see and an overwhelming number of people responded to opening the library on Saturdays.

So, we are excited to announce that each library will be open one Saturday a month from September to November 2010 from 10:00am – 2:00pm.

Full library services will be available including: signing out materials, computer use and wifi, and ongoing programs. Be sure to drop in, have a coffee, and stay awhile in our new reading corners!

Keephills Summer Reading Program Wrap Up

06 August 2010

Summer Reading Program at Keephills Public Library
Destination Jungle was this year’s Summer Reading Program (SRP) theme. Overall, 33 participants between the ages of 3-12 joined Deb Ramsay, Library Manager at Keephills Public Library, on a jungle themed extravaganza that ran for the first two weeks of July. 
 
Keephills Library was fortunate to have comedian and magician Brian Lehr perform again at their SRP! His highly entertaining show, complete with magic tricks, silly jokes, and a lot of laughter, was enjoyable and fun for everyone.

The library was a hopping place with children doing jungle crafts that included making their own stuffed snakes and jungle scene placemats, and playing games such as the Lion toss and Elephant Stomp! The beautiful surroundings of Keephills Library definitely facilitated in the true feeling of a ‘Lion Hunt’ as well!

Prizes were given to those participants who read the most books within their age group and treat bags were handed out to all of the participants.
We would like to thank everyone who participated and thank our helpers who made the SRP a great success.

Although the Summer Reading Program has wrapped up for another year, Keephills Public Library remains open with its regular hours  on Wednesdays from 12:00pm  - 8:00pm and with extended hours on Fridays from 10:00am – 2:00pm. The library will be closed from August 20th– August 31, 2010.
