BROCKTON – Wow, October is flying by – it has been busy!
Canadian Library Month, Cyber Security Awareness Month, Small Business Week and Ontario Public Library Week all happened this month, and the trick-or-treaters have yet to visit. And, to top things off, our brand-new Bookmobile hit the road! You can visit the Library website (library.brucecounty.on.ca) and call or drop by any Bruce County Library branch for information on the Bookmobile; be sure to say “Hi!” to Bookmobile team, Alyssa and Mike.
What’s next? November has some great things happening as well, so reach out to us for more information: Walkerton Branch 519-881-3240; Cargill Branch 519-366-9990 (registration is always appreciated).
