We always have lots of fun on the weekends, and last weekend was no exception. Central Library was filled with happy children, relaxed readers, stressed-out students, music fans, movie-goers, and even poets.
In addition to all the events and activities you’ll see in the photo gallery below, we also hosted the Book Club for Boys, Mother-Daughter Book Club, and Youth Advisory Council Book Club. Community groups rented rooms downstairs for meetings and workshops, including an information session on co-housing that drew more than 100 people. Plus we hosted Kids’ Club at the Market, an artist-at-work demonstration at Grand River Stanley Park Community Library, and a Valentine-themed family crafting session at Country Hills.
