LIBRARY MUSINGS: Awesome boxes and electric fencing
By Grand Forks and District Public Library
We’ve got something at the library you might know about – our very own Awesome Box. Anytime you’re returning a book/DVD/etc that you’ve checked out, you can put it in a small basket on the checkout desk (it’s got an “Awesome Box” sign on it), and that lets us know that you thought it was awesome. If you ever want to see what library items others in our community think are awesome, you can go to publiclibrary.awesomebox.io and look through all of them. Some of the latest ones include: The Complete Muffin Cookbook ; Game of Thrones; You Can Date Boys When You’re Forty (Dave Barry); The Gargoyle (Andrew Davidson); Flash Boys (Michael Lewis); Big Nate Strikes Again; Wolf (Mo Hayder); The Good Luck of Right Now (Matthew Quick); and lots more!
Let’s Talk About…
…Electric Fencing and Bears! This latest talk in our WildSafeBC series will take place on Saturday, October 4 at 10:30 am. Gillian Saunders (electric fencing expert) and Laurie Grant will lead an engaging and informative talk, which will include a hands-on demo out in Gyro Park – and by the end of it, you’ll know all the ins and outs of setting up your very own electric fence.
NFB Film Club
Our next movie night is on Thursday, October 9 at 6:30 pm – we’ll be screening “Shameless Propaganda”, an NFB documentary about…well…NFB documentaries! Through that lens, it offers a fascinating look at Canada and the views, prejudices, and moral crusades that make up our history. A must-see for history buffs and aspiring filmmakers!
