October is just a day away and the month at the library is full of events for all members of the family. We have something every week to keep everyone informed and entertained.
Join us on Thursday, Oct. 1 at 7 p.m. for the Readers' Circle Book Club. We will be discussing "A House in the Sky" by Amanda Lindhout. Everyone is welcome to join us for a spot of tea and some lively conversation. Copies of the books are available at the library.
There are only a couple of spots left to learn how to build a simple robot on Saturday, Oct. 3 at 10:30 a.m. We will be using Little Bits, elastics and straws. Call the library at 403-742-2292 to register.
Do you love international films or small budget movies with big storylines? Come to the Jewel Theatre on Monday, Oct. 5 at 7 p.m. for the first movie in our TIFF Film Circuit series "A Brilliant Young Mind". Rotten Tomatoes rates it at 88 per cent fresh and describes it thus: "This heart-warming and life-affirming story follows the unconventional and hilarious relationship between student and teacher - whose roles are often reversed - and the unfathomable experience of first love - even when you don't understand what love is." Tickets and packages are available at the library and Jewel Theatre.
The federal election is Monday, Oct. 19 and the Stettler Public Library and the Stettler Board of Trade want to help you make an informed decision. On Tuesday, Oct. 6 at 7 p.m. you can attend a federal election forum at the Stettler Community Hall. Learn about the issues and then make your vote count.
We want to help you decorate your Thanksgiving table. Join Kirsten Nugent at the library on Thursday, Oct. 8 at 6: 30 p.m. to make a fall flower arrangement. There is a cost and you are asked to bring a four to six inch vase or basket and any embellishments that you may like. Register early by calling the library at 403-742-2292 as there are only 15 spots available.
The library will be closed on Monday, Oct. 5 for staff professional development. We will also be closed on Monday, Oct. 12 to celebrate Thanksgiving.
Our annual Halloween Monster Bash is happening at 5 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 30. Storyteller Ginger Mullen will be in attendance and improv group Calf Skit will perform the pirate tale "Treasure Island." Lots of other ghoulish activities are planned. There will be a cost for participation.
