One Card, One Million Possibilities October is Library Month and we're celebrating with a full lineup of programs for kids, teens and adults! We're also happy to announce the reinstatement of more services including computer use, washrooms, and interlibrary loans. If you live in the Valley, you can now return and pick up your library books at the Heritage Credit Union. As we move into cooler weather and back online, you might find "Collaborate Seamlessly Using Zoom" very useful! It's one of thousands of free online courses from Lynda.com led by real world professionals. Free with your library card. These are just a few of the possibilities that a Nelson Library Card gives you! Reply to this email and let us know your favourite thing about your library card. *We'll be closed Monday, October 12 for Thanksgiving
