Code along with us! In each week's video tutorial, we will explore a different coding concept and build our coding skills together. We will be using Scratch, a block-based programming language. Perfect for beginners and intermediate users of Scratch. 

New videos will be released at 4pm every Monday, starting September 14. All video recordings will be available on our Facebook page and on our Youtube channel.

Bounces, rhymes, songs and zooming to the moon for caregivers and baby! Join us on our Facebook Page for a live, interactive babytime to encourage attachment and early literacy skills.

What does it mean to be anti-racist? Where do we begin to talk about it? If you would like to explore these and other questions in a respectful and inclusive environment, this book club is for you.

Join us online where we will discuss So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo over four consecutive weeks. Examining different chapters each week, we'll explore the concepts presented, how they impact our lives today, and how we can affect change for the better.

Book club participants will be loaned a copy of the book for the duration of the program. Once you have registered, pick the book up from the Library’s Information Desk during our opening hours.

The Library endeavours to make our physical and online spaces safe and inclusive for all, and to support our community in its efforts to become more informed and aware. Behaviour that is disrespectful and/or antagonistic and does not abide by the Library’s Rules of Conduct will not be tolerated, and the individual will be removed from the meeting and not allowed to continue participation in the Anti-Racist Book Club.
