Share the Library Love for Canadian Library Month
All month long, libraries and library partners across Canada are raising awareness of the valuable role libraries play in Canadians’ lives. Libraries are there for you for life - whatever stage of life you're in and wherever life takes you.
We want to thank you for being a library member and encourage you to share the library love this October!
Visit any of our three locations to pick up a Share the Library Love flyer. Each flyer has three ballots that you can give out to friends and family. When they bring it in and get a library card, they'll get some BPL swag and YOU will be entered to win an ASUS Chromebook, $50 Amazon gift card or one of three BPL swag bags!
A special thank you to Bruce MacGillivray and the team from Instant Imprints Barrie for their recent donation supporting the Barrie Public Library’s Future Branches Campaign.
“It brings us great joy to make this donation to the Barrie Public Library. The ripple effect their services have in our community is immeasurable and hopefully our gift will inspire more local businesses to give back to an organization who does so much for our community!” says Bruce.
Creativebug is an amazing resource for those looking to get crafty. Watch video tutorials, download transcripts and materials lists, read reviews and see other user's projects for inspiration.
Thanksgiving Inspiration
Make it your best Thanksgiving yet with homemade napkins, flower arrangements, or a fancy pie crust!
Bring your pup and stop by for your chance to get a costume generously donated by Ontario SPCA (while supplies last). While you're at it, capture their best pose against our photo backdrop and connect with pet service businesses.
All well-socialized dogs are welcome (good boys and girls only) and must be kept leashed.
If you're interested in applying to be a pet service vendor, please email us at bplgo@barrielibrary.ca.
We love hearing from our members - your likes, dislikes, preferences and pet peeves. This monthly poll gives you a chance to tell us what you think! Watch for the results in next month's e-newsletter.
Together we will walk to the Spirit Catcher and back, feeling calm, present and ready to conquer the day. Along the way, we will take moments to share highlights from both our guide Liz's journey and our Simcoe Reads book.
After a summer of reading terrific books, interacting with the authors and your community's champion, please join us for the final Simcoe Reads event: a conversation between the 7 champions where you can cast your vote for your favourite book!
