Young readers can start the new year with a new book club at Parkgate Library. Starting in January, Parkgate is offering the Red Cedar Book Club for kids in grades 4 to 7. The club meets twice a month to discuss titles nominated for B.C.’s Red Cedar Book Awards. Young readers will discuss different titles, conduct experiments, write reviews and then vote for their favourite books.
The club meets from 3:45 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. every second Tuesday of the month, starting Jan. 12. To register, call 604-929-3727, ext. 8166.
If your new year’s resolution was to achieve better health and wellness, the library can also help. North Vancouver District Public Library and North Vancouver Recreation and Culture have teamed up with the City and District of North Vancouver, the North Vancouver City Library, and the Canadian Mental Health Association to help you celebrate your health and wellness in January.
This fantastic series of workshops and programs is designed to support residents’ goals of living an active and healthy life.
Why don’t you take some time for yourself to restore and renew at a relaxing yoga class? Or try out tai chi! There will be urban walks and trail walks so residents can head out into their backyards and explore North Vancouver.
We are also hosting informative workshops like Memory and the Aging Brain and The Environmental and Health Impacts of our Food Choices. There’s even a free wellness breakfast and a movie night! Most events take place at the Lynn Valley Community Room, adjacent to the Lynn Valley library. All activities are free, and all levels of knowledge and experience are welcome.
Not interested in attending activities? That’s alright. Just stop by the library. Parkgate library offers a diverse selection of health and wellness resources to help you achieve your goals, from healthy living cookbooks to exercise DVDs. Come see an NVDPL librarian for help or visit one of our health and wellness resource displays.
The library also has some exciting programming starting back up in January, including regular storytimes, children’s book clubs, author talks, and special programs like Ease into Ebooks for adults. It’s safe to say we have you covered! Need more info? Visit www.nvdpl.ca for registration and event details.
