LIBRARY MUSINGS: Local author reads; Adopt a magazine
By Grand Forks and District Public Library
Our library subscribes to dozens of magazines – these are read widely and voraciously by many of you. This year, we are re-launching our Adopt-a-Magazine program, in which you can donate the cost of the annual subscription of your favourite magazine. Your generosity will be recognized with a label on each issue (unless you’d like to remain anonymous) – it’s an effective way to advertise your business, honour a friend or family member, or just support your local library!
The cost of a subscription ranges from $29 and up, and the magazines that are looking to be adopted include: The Amazing Spiderman, Bon Appetit, Canadian House & Home, Cooking Light, The Family Handyman, Fine Gardening, Globe & Mail (Saturday), Money Sense, Mother Earth News, People, Quiltmaker, Style at Home, Threads, Yoga Journal, and lots more. If you’re interested in supporting our magazine collection in this way, give us a call at 442-3944 or drop by and visit us.
NFB Film Club
This month we’ll be screening the film “Danny” – on Thursday, January 8 at 6:30 pm. It’s the story of the most popular and controversial Canadian politician of his era: Danny Williams (Premier of Newfoundland & Labrador from 2003 to 2010). Refreshments will be served.
