New things happening at Selwyn Public Library this 2019!
It's a new year at Selwyn Public Library and we couldn't be more excited. Literacy Kits are now available at the Ennismore library! These kits contain an assortment of literacy/learning activities, such as: Word Bingo, Apples to Apples, Pairs in Pears, Flash Cards, Matching Games, Phonics Activities and more! The kits are designed for families to take home and use together, to help children develop their literacy skills. Kits can be sent to Lakefield or Bridgenorth for pick-up as requested.
We also have some new adult programs happening this year. On January 24th, Lakefield Library kicked off their first monthly Coffee House and it sure was a hit! Join us for our monthly meet every 3rd Thursday of the month, starting at 7:00p.m.
The Selwyn Public Library and Community Care Chemung are offering a new service called Home Library Service. This service provides delivery of library materials to homebound persons residing in Bridgenorth and Ennismore. For more information please contact Kelsey, the Ennismore librarian, at 705 292 8022.
New changes to library DVD fines are now in effect at all 3 library branches. A $1.00 charge will be added to your account each day for each DVD turned in late. Changes to printing copies have also increased this year, now each item is .20 per side. For more information on library fines,
visit our website.
It's that time of year again, Blind Date with a Book! Each library has a display of books wrapped up concealing the titles. What is revealed is a short description of what the book is about. Those adventurous enough will checkout one of these books, take it home, unwrap it, and discover what book they have to read. Will it be love at first read, a curiosity that grows into love, or not just your type?
Just a reminder, The Selwyn Public Library will be closed for Family Day on Monday, February 18th and will re-open on Tuesday, February 19th at 10 a.m. For items you wish to return outside our open hours, try the book-drop located outside of each library branch.
As always, thank you for making the library a part of your life.

A bold, heartfelt tale of life at Green Gables . . . before Anne: A marvelously entertaining and moving historical novel, set in rural Prince Edward Island in the nineteenth century, that imagines the young life of spinster Marilla Cuthbert, and the choices that will open her life to the possibility of heartbreak—and unimaginable greatness.
Plucky and ambitious, Marilla Cuthbert is thirteen years old when her world is turned upside down. Her beloved mother has dies in childbirth, and Marilla suddenly must bear the responsibilities of a farm wife: cooking, sewing, keeping house, and overseeing the day-to-day life of Green Gables with her brother, Matthew and father, Hugh.
