Just in time for Family Day, we are offering Family-themed Grab & Go Packs! These bags contain family-themed library books, activities, and a children’s craft. This is a partnership between the library and AHS Mental Health Capacity Building. Contact the library to reserve yours and arrange pick-up.
We miss our Story Time kids and are now offering Story Time kits to do at home. These will include picture/board books and a craft. Winter, Skating/Hockey, and Valentine’s Day Story Time kits are currently available. Please specify ages and number of crafts needed when ordering (and if mom, dad, big brother, or sister would like a book as well!)
The library is now lending “Book and a Movie” packs – with a package of popcorn included! There are different packs available and we can also customize to ages and personal requests depending on availability. Some current themes include Outlander, Anne of Green Gables, Little Women, The Andy Griffith Show, Star Wars, fitness, Matthew McConaughey (including his brand-new book!), and more. Several include a cookbook. Check out pictures of each one on our public Facebook page (Oyen Municipal Library).
Need something to pass the time during these long winter days? We are now lending out an adult colouring kit and we have a 1000 piece puzzle available to borrow, too.
The Big Country Agricultural Society has kindly donated three magazine subscriptions to the library. Thanks to their donation, patrons can borrow Farm & Ranch Living, Taste of Home, and Country Woman magazine. Lending periods are for one week. Other magazines including People, Hello, Reminisce, Fashion, (and more) can be checked out as well!
COMING EVENTS:
