On the waiting list for some of our most popular titles?

Try these read-alikes! October is Canadian Library Month! This means that it is your chance to vote for the 2012 Evergreen Award. Polling stations will be set up at all eight of Haliburton County Public Library’s branches to allow you to vote for your favourite Canadian book of the year. Participants will be entered to win some great prizes. Voting starts Oct. 2 and ends Oct. 31. The Haliburton County winner will be announced at the Friends of the Library’s gala with Terry Fallis on Nov. 4 and the provincial winner will be announced by the Ontario Library Association thereafter. Know any teens who like to read? Our new Young Adult (YA) book club will run biweekly on Tuesdays at the Minden branch (4-5:30pm) and Wednesdays at the Dysart branch (3:30-5pm). It’s the perfect afterschool activity for teen bookworms! Computer instruction will be offered at the Minden and Dysart branches (FREE, of course) throughout October. This month, learn about web searching (Oct.2 in Minden, Oct. 4 in Dysart), setting up a Gmail account (Oct. 16 in Minden, Oct. 18 in Dysart) and finding what to read next (Oct. 30 in Minden, Nov. 1 in Dysart). Register by calling 705 457 2241. Chair yoga continues throughout October! Join Lynda Shadbolt (each Tuesday from 2-3pm), for this gentle yoga session. Entrance is by donation to the Friends of the Haliburton County Public Library. Interested in meeting people and learning something new? Our Minden branch book club (specifically, a themed book study group) is recruiting new members. The next meeting will be Oct. 25 at 2pm. Call or visit the Minden branch to register, 705-286-2491. Stop by the Dysart branch in Haliburton for Saturday morning programming for kids and tots. There will be stories, crafts and FUN each Saturday at 10am.
