Big thanks to the Lonsdale Snowizards Snowmobile Club for their generous donation to our children’s programming. We will soon have a new kids’ size craft table and chairs to enhance our storytimes, hands-on science and other fun activities for young people. Also, keep your eyes peeled for upcoming movie programs, since the Snowizards sponsored a public performance license, alllowing us to legally show all sorts of movies for kids and adults, alike!
