During the celebration of
Canadian Library Month, Seniors Week is an opportunity for public libraries to focus on programming, services, books
and materials for seniors provided by the nine public library regions in Nova
Scotia. Throughout the year, library staff continue to welcome and serve older
adults coming to the library.
The Annapolis Valley Regional
Library’s eleven branches and Bookmobile have a wonderful list of programs and
events planned. Some of the exciting events include Third Thursday Social Group
in Windsor (October 15) with a display of artifacts from the West Hants Historical Society.
Drop by the branch to test your knowledge. Or join Sue at the Berwick branch
for a Kitchen Party. Perhaps now is the time to try Chair Yoga at the Isabel
and Roy Joudrey Memorial Library in Hantsport. The programs offered in
Bridgetown include a Recipe Swap, Seniors Travel and a Talk with Dr. John Ross
about end-of-life options. The Kentville branch is offering a slide
presentation on Miner’s Marsh. The Rosa
M. Harvey Library in Middleton has a full week of events including a
presentation on Mona Parsons, and Seed Saving and Herbal Medicine. For a complete list of all programs go to the
Event page on our website: http://www.valleylibrary.ca/calendar.
Browse our online catalogue for
some interesting reading material, such as iPad for Seniors or Senior Fitness. Stop by and check out the creative displays of items
chosen by staff at each branch. And this may also be a good time to celebrate
our senior library workers!
