LIBRARY MUSINGS: GFDPL is hiring; book sale coming; wills and estate workshop
By Grand Forks and District Public Library
As you know, we have books here – lots and lots of books – as well as movies, magazines, storytime boxes, e-readers, and more! We also have activities at the library: author readings, storytimes, workshops, lectures, etc. And here’s something you might not know: many of these activities were suggested by members of the community, such as the upcoming Wills and Estates workshop, the Pokemon Trading Card club, and the Boardgame club. This is your public library, so we’d like to invite you to continue to come to us with these suggestions. And let me end with a reminder: you can always visit our website for more information on any events and programs, at grandforks.bclibrary.ca.
