Children's Programs

Summer Reading Club

July 6 - Aug 24

The Swift Current Branch Library is pleased to present the TD Summer Reading Club 2010 “Destination Jungle”. During the summer months a child can visit the library at anytime and receive a full-colour poster and an activity booklet. Children can use the activity booklet to record the titles of the books that they read. Children are encouraged to talk to any library staff about books they’ve enjoyed. Each time a book is described to library staff, the child will receive a sticker. Each sticker is to be placed on a given area of the poster, revealing something new. Children will receive a Summer Reading Club certificate at the Adieu Party if they bring the complete poster with 9 stickers.

Saturday Movie Afternoon

August 21st, Saturday 2:00 p.m.

Join us for a viewing of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and snack.

To Greg Heffley, middle school is the dumbest idea ever invented. It's a place rigged with hundreds of social landmines, not the least of which are morons, wedgies, swirlies, bullies, lunchtime banishment to the cafeteria floor - and a festering piece of cheese with nuclear cooties. To survive the never-ending ordeal and attain the recognition and status he feels he so richly deserves, Greg devises an endless series of can't-miss schemes, all of which, of course, go awry. And he's getting it all down on paper, via a diary - "it's NOT a diary, it's a journal!" Greg insists, preferring the less-sissyfied designation - filled with his opinions, thoughts, tales of family trials and tribulations, and (would-be) schoolyard triumphs. "One day when I'm famous," writes Greg, "I'll have better things to do than answer peoples' stupid questions all day." So was born the Wimpy Kid's diary.
