VERY bad news. DECADES of research shows reading for pleasure is related to a child’s later economic success, not to mention their educational prospects, and emotional wellbeing

School and public libraries are an essential not a luxury.
We borrowed the @MCM_PubLibrary snowshoes (and their Programmer Kirstin) and took 10 brave souls on an adventure today! Thanks to everyone for joining us #wintersports#lacombealberta
PSA: our snowshoes fit on Blundstones.
Did you know MCMPL lends out snowshoes? Stop by the library with your card to get your pair. And email Kirstin at [email protected] for trail maps, sizing or other snowshoe questions. #physicalliteracy#blundstones#winterinalberta
Our November newsletter is about to drop! You can sign up to receive a digital copy by scrolling to the bottom of our website (https://t.co/jau53mOT17) and entering your email address there.
This month we learned about hope with Jane Goodall's _Book of Hope_, next month we'll learn to _Think Like a Monk_. Pretty soon we'll be as zen as they come, right? #nonfictionbookclub#saturdaylibrarian
I highly recommend keeping an ongoing list of your favourite individual poems from different poets and printing them out and putting them in a little binder in your bag as an emotional support anthology of your own making.
@DaveAlexRoberts We work hard to keep our collection current and thoughtful. But we always welcome input on how to make it better! Your books are in major circulation around here!
I’d say that it’s time to put together another list, but really, go to your local bookstore, go to the library, and the shelves are rich with story. We have a lot of work to do, but if it was easy, it wouldn’t be the right way to do it. We’re in this together. /5
