Happy August!
 
We hope you are enjoying the weather — sunshine, rainstorms & everything in between! Here at the library, staff have been busy leading storytimes, chasing overdue items (remember, if items are brought back in good condition, you won't have to pay anything!), checking the condition of our items, and organizing our shelves!
 
Here are a few reminders as we head into August:
  • The library is closed all day on August 7 for Heritage Day.
    Regular services will resume on August 8!

     
  • Library of Things: please return items cleaned and dusted. It will really make library staff happy ☺ We also have a new Library of Things email:  libraryofthings@banfflibrary.ab.ca
    If you have any questions or concerns related to the Library of Things, please send us an email there!

     
  • Kids' Computers: As some of you may have noticed, one of the kids' computers was out of service...for a long time. That is now fixed and both of the computers are running! 
     
  • August is another fun and eventful month at the library!
    Hoda and Emily are working hard to deliver fun and educational programs!
