Invasion of Dungeons and Dragons at the library
Summer time is an especially vibrant time for the library.
Warmer weather and holidays mean that for many it’s time to relax, reach for a new book, or finally get caught up on the latest TV series. If you’ve got a trip planned, consider downloading apps that link to your library card: Libby and Freading for e-books and audiobooks, Hoopla for books, audiobooks, music, TV and movies, and RB Digitial for magazines.
These apps are a great way to use the library from your tablet or phone. They’re also a great way to save precious space in your luggage.
The library is also ramping up on programs. Last week, at the Crystal Ridge Supper Market, we signed up more than 40 kids for summer reading, and even more had a blast playing with our Big Blue Blocks. Look for us again at the market on July 19 and July 26. If you’re not participating in our summer reading challenges, you should be. Stop by any branch to pick up a bingo card or sign your child up.
Last week at the library we kicked off not one but two Dungeons and Dragons campaigns — one for ages 12 and over and then one for ages 16 and up. So you want to go on an adventure? Dungeon Masters will lead you and your team through a legendary campaign. All players are welcome, regardless of experience. We will be playing 5e. We will meet every Saturday at 1 p.m. at the Centennial branch. Ages 16 and up Our D&D campaign will be running on Tuesday nights in July and August for ages 12 and over. Please see our website, www.fepl.ca, and look at the calendar for further details.
This week is the start of our high energy summer programs for kids, starting this week with Mad Science and Button Making, both at our Centennial Branch this Wednesday.
For adults, we have a summer of crafts and learning planned. On July 11, come to our Centennial Branch to make beautiful, professional-grade greeting cards. All pieces will be supplied, including many that have been professionally cut with a laser cutter.
Later this month, join us at Crystal Ridge to make your own terrarium.
Please note that we are taking registration for all adults programs this summer.
Just call the library to reserve your place, or drop by the desk at any branch.
Stay cool out there — or come on down to the library, and stay cool in here.
