We had six Playaway cases returned without their Playaway player between September and December 2025. They were taken from the library without being checked out, so we do not know who to call to get them back.

If you or your child is a big Playaway borrower, please have a look around for the following titles:

The Land of Stories: The Wishing Spell - Chris Colfer
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone - JK Rowling
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets - JK Rowling
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - JK Rowling
Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard: The Sword of Summer - Rick Riordan
The Sea of Monsters - Rick Riordan

Here's a picture of what the player looks like, for those who aren't familiar. They can be red, orange, yellow, or blue.

Thank you to everyone who submitted entries to our Haiku Contest for Poetry Month! We received 60 wonderful haiku submissions.

Library staff conducted a blind vote and this year’s winner is Richard Austin Borthwick for his haiku about insomnia.
Richard has won a $50 gift certificate to Talewind Books.

INSOMNIA

woke from broken sleep
to a fractured new morning
dis
located dreams

Vanessa Choo’s haiku was also a staff favourite and the runner-up:

A circling shark
stalking my movements, hungry.
Late to feed The Cat
