STETTLER PUBLIC LIBRARY -- We want to start by saying that the library is welcoming Fort McMurray evacuees to have free memberships and use the technology, resources, comfort and books that our library has to offer. We are also encouraging anyone with fines to come in and pay them and the library will be donating that money to Fort McMurray.
If you are ready to step outside your comfort zone this month and try some new things, then join us at the library for the following activities and days:
Tech Time on Thursday, May 19 at 1-3 p.m. Bring your own device. If you are struggling with using some new or old tech items in your life, then we want you to bring it into the library and we will help you become competent in using it. It could be a computer, tablet, phone, eReader, camera or any other device. We are ready to help, if you are ready to learn.
Make a stamped pendant necklace on Thursday, May 19 at 2 p.m. If you are ages nine and older, then we would love to teach you a new fun way to make a necklace. The chains will be provided and you get to add any initials, word or symbols that you would like. Keep it for yourself or gift it to someone else. Please register at the library by calling 403-742-2292.
Movie Day on Friday, May 20 at 2 p.m. Tinkerbell and the Pirate Fairy will be showing at the Stettler Public Library for all ages. The movie follows Tinkerbell as she searches for wayward fairy that left to join Captain Hook. Popcorn will be served during the movie.
