WALKERTON – Looking for something to do this summer? Join us at the Bruce County Public Library Walkerton and Cargill branches for a fun summer of reading and weekly activities.
Be a Super Reader and register for the TD Summer Reading Club, on now until Aug. 28. You can register in Beanstack through the library website, or download the handy Beanstack app to track your reading. Plus, you can collect special ribbons and other incentives as you read your way through summer. If you prefer to log your reading on paper be sure to bring it back to the library so staff can log your time in Beanstack to ensure you are eligible for prizes.
