If you grew seeds in your garden this summer, join us for a hands-on seed cleaning event to get your newly harvested seeds ready for storage (or donation to our seed library). We will be threshing, winnowing, screening and sorting seeds of all types. Bring your seed material from your garden to clean together and consider donating your extras to the seed library!
If you have large quantities of bulky seeds or have divided some bulbs and have some to share, bring them to the event in an informal sharing of your crops.
Meet outdoors in the parking lot at the Main Branch – weather dependent. If it’s pouring rain we’ll be inside in the Auditorium, but it may not be possible to do such messy work inside!
Bring seeds to clean, seeds and bulbs to share, and some small bags or envelopes to take new seeds home again.
Celebrate a summer of reading at our free Summer Reading Club Wrap-up Party!
Please note that the party will take place at the Anvil Centre, 777 Columbia Street.
Library staff may take photos during this event to be used for internal promotional purposes by the library. If you prefer not to have your picture taken, please speak to a staff member.

An utterly charming tale of good food, feisty ladies and unlikely friendships during a very Roman holiday. Broke, and armed with only a glass of wine and a wry sense of humor, middle-aged Gianni resides with his 93-year-old mother in their ancient apartment.
The condo debts are mounting, but if Gianni looks after the building manager’s mother, all will be forgiven. Then the manager also shows up with an auntie, and then a doctor friend appears with his mother in tow… Can Gianni keep these lively mamas well fed and happy in these cramped quarters?
