There’s plenty to do at the Thorndale Library next month.

Especially with young families in mind, the Thorndale Library hosts storytime on Tuesdays at 10:30 a.m., with the focus on fun, stories, learning songs and rhymes.

Special for Tuesday, March 3 is the Paper Bag Princess story and craft. With the theme of “Dare to be Brave,” inspired by the famous storybook, The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch, young children will design their own paper bag princess and take-home story retell props.

The after-school hangout on Wednesdays continues until March 24, 4:30-5:30 p.m. Children aged seven to 11 can meet at the library for interesting crafts, games and to have fun with their friends.

During March break, the library will host a games party on Thursday, March 17, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Children ages 8 and up can try out the Wii games or bring their own gaming devices or their favourite board game. Registration is required for this activity.

On Thursday, March 19, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and open to all ages, the Thorndale Library will be showing a movie on their big screen. Popcorn will be provided.
