NEWS RELEASE
WAINFLEET TOWNSHIP PUBLIC LIBRARY
**********************
On Tuesday, April 4, the Wainfleet Township Public Library will be celebrating its 57th anniversary. To commemorate this special occasion the library will have an open house from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. All members of the community are invited to join us for coffee, tea and desserts. Staff will be available to discuss the many programs, materials and services available at the library.
The pandemic brought a lot of changes to the library but we adapted and have come out even stronger. In 2022, we were able to get back to in-person programming. We had 3,196 participants in 215 programs and activities throughout the year. More than 45,000 items circulated over the course of the year. We added new collections including board games and jigsaw puzzles which have been very popular.
March Break 2023 brought many people to the library. The theme was space and it was a blast! The World of Universes Planetarium show had participants journey to the night sky to learn about the Greek, Egyptian, Arab, Chinese, Norse, Aztec, Inuit, and First Nations constellations. They showed a video of an elder talking around a fire telling the stories of the constellations. We had a total of 448 participants from tots to seniors in 19 programs and 842 visitors to the library throughout the week.
Looking forward, we are planning to offer the TD Summer Reading Club and summer camp programs again this year. Last year’s spots filled up quickly and we expect to have a lot of interest again this year.
We hope you will join us for our open house on April 4. Come to the library to learn about our history and discover all the library has to offer you.
