The fire department Library Week events held By Sarah Pacio Grasslands News

October 20-26 has been designated Library Week, an initiative sponsored by the Saskatchewan Library Association since 1976. It provides an opportunity to promote resources and services available at libraries throughout the province. Special events and exhibits at local libraries encouraged community members to stop in throughout the week. On Wednesday afternoon, the Broadview Library hosted an open house and on Friday morning Re- gional KidsFirst will present its Fall Family Fun program for children under 5 years old. Participants engage in a variety of hands-on activities such as apple painting and fall-themed play dough mats. A Halloween Party is also planned for Saturday after- noon; participants are encouraged to call the library to pre-register. The Grenfell Library has partnered with Dance Saskatchewan Inc. (DSI) to host its Roving Library Program. A small collection of materials from the DSI Resource Centre in Saskatoon is on display at the Grenfell Library until the end of October. The centre provides access to books and DVDs covering a variety of topics relating to dance, including his- tories of dance, training techniques and staging. “It includes a really cool component of physical move- ment, like kinesiology; there’s a book on self-regula- tion for kids; there’s stuff on art and design; there’s musical theatre,” librarian Sheila Warne-Peter noted. “It’s quite broad ranging actually; there’s something for everyone.” The Herald Sun www.grasslandsnews.ca October 25, 2019 7 Volunteers help feed over 350 at community supper
