Drop by the library with your children ages 3–6 for a fun, hands-on self-exploration activity designed to encourage creativity, coordination, and fine motor skills.

This month, travel back to the “Land Before Time” and let little ones explore, play, and discover at their own pace!

The self-exploration set will be available on October 19 from 9:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Spend as much time as you like exploring the activity—come whenever works for you and enjoy it at your own pace!

And while you’re here, don’t forget to browse the shelves and borrow some great books! 📚

Join us at the Yellowknife Public Library this Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. to meet Canadian author Loretta Colton as she introduces her debut novel, What the Aurora Remembers, a gritty crime story set in a fictional town in the Northwest Territories:

"Nicky Ryan has been a police officer in Canada’s Northwest Territories for six months. Her first homicide investigation brings her face to face with the reality of life and death in a small indigenous community. In Fort Gabriel, the wounds of the past still bleed, and white cops from down south are neither trusted nor welcomed."

Copies of the novel will be available for purchase, and refreshments will be provided.
We look forward to seeing you there!
