Library books return to renovated quarters at Stettler Rec Centre

We’re moving on up to a deeeeluxe apartment in the sky!

We’re moving on up to a deeeeluxe apartment in the sky! Actually, more like a deeeeluxe library on the second floor! (You get bonus points if you can name the TV show from where the reference is drawn.) The day has come and the schedule has been set.

The Stettler Public Library’s last date at our 4917-50 Street location is Tuesday Feb. 18. We will be closed from Wednesday, Feb. 19, to Wednesday, March 5, and will re-open with regular hours on Thursday, March 6, at the Stettler Recreation Centre.

But don’t worry, you can still return your books and pick up your holds. We will have a desk set up downstairs at the Stettler Recreation Centre for this service. The hours for this desk will be Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 2 to 6 p.m. and Thursdays from 2 to 7 p.m. There will be no service or drop-offs on Saturdays and Sundays. If you have spare time during the period from Feb.19 to March 5, we would love for you to volunteer your time at the Stettler Public Library. We will need help with moving boxes and furniture, setting up shelves, and then putting books on those shelves. If you are interested in helping your community library move into its new digs, call us at 403-742-2292 so we can fill you in on the details.

During this period of flux, it would be the perfect time to try out our e-book, e-audiobook and e-magazine collections. Visit our website at spl.prl.ab.ca for step-by-step instructions on downloading these materials to your e-readers, mp3 players, iPods or tablets. Or if you would like a personal tutorial on how to use these collections, stop by the downtown location by Tuesday, Feb. 18.

There will be no interruption to the Read & Rhyme program and Tuesday Tutoring during our move. Read and Rhyme will continue on Wednesday and Friday mornings at 11 a.m. upstairs in the Stettler Recreation Centre meeting rooms. Tuesday Tutoring will be moved to the SRC upstairs meeting rooms for Feb. 25 and March 4 at 5 p.m.

The staff and board of the Stettler Public Library would like to thank the citizens of the town and county of Stettler for being patient and understanding during our time at the Main Street location. We have gotten to know your likes and dislikes more intimately during this time and we hope that we can continue to get to know the community even better once we are in our shiny, newly renovated facility. Come on and check us out!
