October is Library Month
This October we are celebrating Canadian Library Month. Every fall we celebrate the importance of public libraries in our communities. Libraries promote literacy, life-long learning and enrich the lives of our community members. With hundreds of visitors a day, the Belleville Public Library welcomes everyone who walks through the doors.
This month we will be hosting a few special events to help celebrate our vibrant library. Join us for the following free author visits. On Wednesday October 12th at 6:30 pm, County author Hilary Macleod will be reading from her newest book, “Mind Over Mussels”. Then on Thursday October 20th at 6:30 pm, Madawaska author Brenda Missen will be reading from her chilling true-crime novel, “Tell Anna She’s Safe.” Then on Thursday October 27th at 6:30 pm, Canadian author Peter Behrens will discuss his latest novel “The O’Briens”.
Bring your kids out on October 22nd at 2:00 pm, because author Patricia Storms will be presenting a children’s play based on her book “The Pirate and the Penguin” followed by a drawing workshop.
Finally, stop in anytime during the month of October to fill out a ballot telling us your favourite book and/or genre and we’ll enter your name into our draw for an e-reader. We will be drawing one lucky library user’s name in November.
