At the Library
By Mike Selby
Cranbrook Public Library
‘Waking the Spirit’ is Andrew Schulman’s tale of how Bach’s St. Matthew Passion played through headphones brought him out of brain-damaging coma. Since then he has dedicated his life to playing music in surgical ICU departments.
Jennifer Mathieu tells the story of a teenage girl who starts a feminist revolution against her high school’s football team in ‘Moxie.’
Please note the library will be closed at 3 p.m. on Sunday, December 31, and will reopen on Monday, January 2 for regular hours. We hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday season.
FOOD FOR FINES: For the entire month of December, the library will be accepting donations of non-perishable food as payment for overdue fines. One item will be worth one dollar of fines. Any canned or boxed non-perishable food items will be accepted. All donations will be delivered to the food bank throughout the holiday season. This is a great way to get rid of those pesky overdue fines while helping others in need.
Our website has all kinds of great information and links.
The Cranbrook Public Library Endowment Fund gives people an opportunity to create a meaningful legacy, to build a strong foundation in the present for the future of the Library. For more information about how you can contribute, please phone us at 250-426-4063 Ext: 1001, or visit this link.
On display this month is the warm and festive Christmas display by Kathy Simon.
