One Canada Summer Jobs Position: Resumes will be accepted at the Perth-Andover Public Library in person until 3 p.m. on Friday, May 23, 2008. This position is for 10 weeks (June 23 to Aug. 29) as a Library Assistant. To be eligible to participate in Canada Summer Jobs, applicants must be between 15 and 30 years of age, have been registered full time in the previous academic year and intend to attend full time in the fall, be Canadian citizens, permanent residents or persons to whom refugee protection has been conferred under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, and be legally entitled to work in Canada.

Reading Rainbow: All preschoolers interested in a weekly program that includes stories, songs, games, crafts and laughs are invited to the library on Fridays at 10:30 in the morning! Remember, an adult must accompany children. We will learn about butterflies on May 23 when we read the story Butterflies by Melvin Berger. Our math is 2 3=5 and our third word is sat. We will make foam butterflies for our craft and make pepper run away for our science experiment!

Babies in the Library: we will be having babies in the library every Wednesday in May at 2:30 p.m. for babies 0-18 months and their caregiver(s). We will learn finger plays, songs, games, and play with new toys and enjoy new books. Reading to your child early helps develop language, listening skills, visual discrimination and memory, emotional development, fine motor control, tactile stimulation and can be a wonderful bonding experience for a whole family.

Art Classes with Veronica Steeves: we will be hosting an 8 week art class series about the dynamics of drawing for people of all ages and abilities on Thursday evenings from 6-8 p.m. beginning June 5th. The cost is $4 per person per class. Registration is necessary and a supply list will be provided. Supply kits can also be provided at a cost if requested. Please contact the library at 273-2843 to register.
