Children and parents laughed and giggled their way through this year's Summer Reading program. Our theme this year was Laugh Out Loud @ your library and almost 4,400 children had lots of silly fun. To celebrate the reading success of everyone who completed the program, a special party hosted by Madame Buskerfly, a Canadian family and children's entertainer, performed juggling, stilt walking, magic and much more!

Teens enjoyed playing GuitarHero, Wii Sports, MarioKart and Indiana Jones: The Original Adventure. Elise Cole, teen services librarian, is excited about this program. "Offering Wii gaming at the library this summer supports the Library's and Town's objectives to create more welcoming community spaces for teens to gather and meet with friends. It's also a great opportunity for teens to come inside and check out all of the other wonderful free resources we have available for them."

For the first time ever, Oakville teens finetuned their creative writing skills during a special Teen Writing Workshop hosted by award-winning author Marsha Skrypuch. Due to the popularity of this workshop, another session has been planned for Saturday, October 25th with author Stewart Ross.

The Halton Multicultural Council's North Oakville office will be the newest home for a much needed Book Nook! With a total of 8 Book Nooks in the community, the library is reaching out to approximately 3,000 children and their families who are not able to visit the library in person.
