Holiday Ukulele Tuneup

Get ready to jingle!

Our ukulele drop-ins get a holiday glow-up in the four weeks before Christmas. Come and learn some holiday tunes, bring your own ukulele or borrow one of ours! At the end of the sessions you’ll be able to play some well-known carols – maybe you’ll be a star at your holiday party!

Climate Solutions Movie Night – What Does 2040 Look Like?

Join us as we watch 2040, a visual letter from the filmmaker to his 4-year old daughter, about what her adult life could look like in 2040. Which climate solutions will he focus on? His only rule is that the solutions must be real and available now, not fantasy or prediction.

This film is perfect for families but it is not a children’s movie, so everyone ages 8+ can learn and enjoy. Teachers have rated it as a great tool for grades 3 and up. It is hopeful AND realistic.

Ages 8+. Popcorn provided, bring your own bowl!

 

This session is provided by the New Westminster Climate Action Hub.

This event is part of BC Library Association’s Climate Action Week, a province-wide initiative to highlight the ways communities and libraries are taking action in the climate crisis. Check out all the climate action events at the New Westminster Public Library from November 2-8! nwpl.ca/climate

Gardening: Seed Cleaning & Bulky Seed Exchange

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.
