If that is your idea of a good time, please join us! And be prepared to share a magic trick! Find the book on our ebook app called Libby. If you haven't read the book, you can still join us! This is an initiative of both the Nelson Public Library and Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy - Slocan Valley. Here are the details for connecting. |
Harry Potter HubJ.K. Rowling very kindly launched an online hub for all things Harry Potter. She said: "The teachers, parents, and carers working to keep children's lives as normal and happy as possible while we're all on lockdown deserve a bit of magic." Also, in collaboration with Pottermore Publishing, Overdrive has announced that libraries will have access to the first Harry Potter book (ebook and audiobook and in every language) with no waitlists for the month of April. Check it out on Libby! |
