October is full of great things for you to do at the library! Adults and seniors can join workshops on mandala making, watercolour painting, plus a new-to-the-Baysville-Branch drop in Craft and Chat session to bring whatever you’re working on for a creative social gathering.

Teens and adults can learn book rebinding or blend up a jar of pumpkin pie spice to add to fall treats. Kids can create a thankful turkey and are invited to our Halloween party, plus the whole family is invited to spooky bingo.

As if that’s not enough the regular favourites like Mah Jongg, Tween Maker Club, Curious Kids Club, Kids Can Code, Book Club and Writers’ Circle are all on.

Take a browse through these flyers for dates and times and please let us know which ones you’d like to join!
