At the Library
By Mike Selby
Cranbrook Public Library
In ‘Made in British Columbia,’ Maria Tippett profiles B.C.’s most influential culture makers of the 20th Century.
Lauren St. John’s ‘The Glory’ is about two equestrian racers—one a teen girl on the run from the law; the other a young man on the run for his life.
Tablet training has returned. Anyone interested in learning about basic tablet usage, including Internet, email, e-books, and accessing resources and invited to attend any of the upcoming free classes. Sessions began in October at the Library. To register, please contact Jason at 250-317-4927.
Flappers, speakeasies, jazz, Art Deco, this November step back into the Roaring Twenties when the Cranbrook Public Library celebrates its 90th Anniversary in high style at a gala dinner in the Royal Alexandra Hall. It will be an evening of glitz and glamour, classic cocktails and fantastic food. You’ll also have the chance to try your luck with a wine pull and silent auction.
On Saturday, November 21 at 6 p.m., put on your dancing shoes and step back in time. Call the Library for more info 250-426-4063 or to order tickets. Fully catered by The Heid-Out (four-course meal), entertainment and dancing by Crossfire; photography by Seymour Photography.
On display this month is Frank Eimer’s absolutely amazing Remembrance Day display.
