Ariel had the best time at the Kelowna Mission Library today!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Storytime with Ariel. We shared stories, sang, got creative with a craft, and made some magical memories together.

A special thank you to the little artists who shared their beautiful creations with Ariel. These sweet gifts made Ariel's day!

And the adventure continues! Join Ariel at the Summerland Library on September 12 from 10:30-11:30 AM for more stories, songs, crafts, and fun.

Sea you there! 🐚

“You can never get enough books into the hands of enough children.” - Dolly Parton

Today, we remember Dolly Parton and her extraordinary commitment to making books and the joy of reading accessible to children everywhere. 📚

Her words are a beautiful reminder that every book can open a door to imagination, learning, and possibility.

Thank you, Dolly, for helping generations of children discover the magic of books. 💖

Ariel had quite the adventure at the Revelstoke Branch!

She tried checking out some books, tackled the self-checkout, and made some new friends. But her favourite part of the day was reading stories, singing, making crafts, and painting faces!

Thanks for a wonderful day, Revelstoke, and to for bringing Ariel to the library! 🧜‍♀️

Ariel’s off to her next adventure at Kelowna Mission Branch this Thursday, August 27, from 10:15–11:15 AM. Registration is required, so visit orl.bc.ca/events to reserve your spot and join the fun!

As wildfires continue to affect communities across the Okanagan, we know this is a difficult and uncertain time for many in our community.

Our Youth Services team has put together two staff-created reading lists that may be useful for children and families right now:

🧰 Be Prepared, Forest Fires: books and resources about wildfire preparedness and safety. https://orl.bibliocommons.com/v2/list/display/177183573/2076564009

💛 Big Emotions: books to help children understand and navigate feelings such as worry, fear, and uncertainty. https://orl.bibliocommons.com/v2/list/display/177183573/2076554519

We’re sharing these resources for anyone who may find them helpful during this challenging time. Please take care, stay safe, and follow guidance from local authorities.
