Staff at the Chatham-Kent Public Library are preparing to celebrate Ontario Public Library Week, inspiring a new generation of readers, crafters, and creators.
The theme for this year’s Library Week, which kicks off October 19, is “Libraries for Life” and will include a How-To Festival and open house.
Registration is now open for ‘grab and go’ How-To kits, which will help participants create a beeswax wrap, puzzle mosaic, wood slice ornament, rainbow cloud wall hanging, and other crafts.
Patrons will be able to take a kit home or participate in an in-person How-To program. The kits will be available for pickup at any CKPL branch starting October 20th.
An open house will then be held at the Chatham branch on Thursday, October 23, starting at 5pm in the Library Café. Those in attendance will learn more about Literary Angels, an exciting new library collection, and speak with Library Board members.
To register for a ‘grab and go’ kit please contact Ask CKPL staff by phone 519-354-2940; text 519-401-7174 or email cklibrary@chatham-kent.ca. To find out more about in-person How-To events at Chatham-Kent Public Library, visit www.ckpl.ca/programcalendar.
