Mary Trainer charts a fascinating history of B.C. railroad history (including disappearing trains, robberies, and silk trains knocking other ones of their routes) in her latest book ‘Whistle Posts West.’
Lemony Snicket concludes his ‘All The Wrong Reasons’ series (illustration from pictured above) with ‘Why is This Night Different from All Other Nights.’
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 mountains!
