At the Library
By Mike Selby
Cranbrook Public Library
Robert Kurson’s ‘Pirate Hunters’ recounts the recent discovery of pirate ship Golden Fleece, which was gunned down by the British 350 years ago.
Roy Henry Vickers’ ‘Orca Chief’ (lead image) is the brightly illustrated retelling of an ancient Tsimshian legend about four hunters who damage the ocean due to their carelessness.
Where did the summer go?
Closing ceremonies for the Summer Reading Club will be on August 25 and 26 at 1 p.m. Kids who have completed a reading log can sign up at the front desk under which day they would like to receive their medal and certificate. Saturday, August 22 is the last day to turn in reading logs. Please contact us at the Cranbrook Public Library if you have any questions or need further information.
Our new website is up and running at: www.cranbrookpubliclibrary.ca
There is much more than this happening at the library. Please check out our Facebook pages and our new website for more information and updates.
A Window Into Our Past by the Columbia Basin Institute of Regional History is only on display this month. Don’t miss this amazing display of photographic history, including the shocking name of the Fernie Women’s Hockey Team in 1924.
