At the Library
By Mike Selby
Cranbrook Public Library
‘The Queen of Katwe’ is the biography of Phiona Mutesi, a teenager from the slums of Kampala who beyond all odds became a world-renowned chess champion.
Neil Gaiman has a new illustrated edition of ‘Odd and the Frost Giants’—his retelling of a chilling Norse myth.
Preschool Story Time is this Wednesday at 11 a.m., 1:15 p.m. and 6:30 p.m., and Toddler Story Time is 10 and 11 a.m. Both will be all about dinosaurs!
New this year is Baby Laptime on Fridays at 1 p.m. This program is for babies who are not yet walking so a specific age is not really set—best approximation is under 1 year of age. Since we do not have daycare for older siblings we ask that parents who have babies and children who are walking come to the toddler storytime instead of the baby laptime.
Come to the Annual Audio Visual and Magazine Sale of the Friends of the Library. It will be located in the Manual Training School (adjacent to the Library) on Friday, Feb. 10 5 pm to 7 p.m. for Friends’ members only and on Saturday, Feb.11 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. for the general public. Donations are being accepted of magazines published since 2014 as well as dvds, cds, videos, audiobook and records. Cookbooks, craft books and children’s big books are also available. Please bring your donations to the circulation desk in the Library. For further info call Louise at 778-517-1119. We look forward to seeing you there!
FREE one-on-one tech training session for those of you who want to enhance your current computing skills.

New at the library is a 2,000-piece jigsaw puzzle of Bavaria’s Neuschwanstein Castle. It is located in our reading lounge; so any and all puzzle enthusiasts are encouraged to come work on it.
On display this month is the breathtaking images of Ashlee Dawn Photography.
