Calendar

Join Bethell Hospice and the Orangeville Public Library on October 1 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Mill branch as we read and discuss books that explore themes of life, love, and loss. The group will discuss My Friends by Fredrik Backman.

Copies of the book are available to borrow. Please register to reserve your copy.

Give your child a jumpstart to a love of reading by engaging in fun, interactive activities with your baby. This is a drop-in program for newborns to 18 months.

There will be time to socialize with other new parents after the program.

Every Child Ready to Read is an early childhood literacy program for children from birth to age five. Library staff will demonstrate ways to help children get ready to read, incorporating five activities: talking, singing, reading, writing and playing. 

This program is also offered at 1 p.m. on Wednesdays at the Mill Street Library.

The Friends of the Orangeville Public Library book and bake sale is at the Mill Street Library. You will find sweet treats and a good selection of books.

The book sale is by donation. Shoppers are asked to bring a bag to fill and then make a donation (buyers set the price).

The sale is cash only - with all proceeds going to support the library.

The library is currently accepting books (less than 5 years old) in good condition for the sale. Please note: we not accept encyclopedias, textbooks or Readers' Digest. We also do not need coffee table books at this time.

Take part in this interactive program that has something for everyone. Sing songs, listen to stories and rhymes, and play games that encourage literacy and learning.

Talking, singing, reading and playing are the key skills and fun ways to help your child get ready to read. Developing early literacy skills makes it easier for children to learn to read once they begin school, and helps to foster a lifelong love of reading and learning. No registration is required.

Recommended for age 5 and under. This is a drop-in program.

Every Child Ready to Read Storytime is also offered on Thursdays, 10:30 a.m. at the Mill Library.

The After Hours Write Club is a writing workshop facilitated by local author Anthony Carnovale.  Meet at the Mill Street Library at 7 p.m.

Please register in advance to attend this program and don't forget to pack your writing supplies and, if you're like Anthony, a good cup of coffee. If the form is unavailable to register, please email libraryprograms@orangeville.ca to have your name added to the meeting list. 

Explore the amazing world of loose parts inspired by children's stories with The Sunflower School.

For ages 18 months to 6 years with a parent/caregiver. This is a drop-in program.

Loose parts are materials that can be moved, carried, combined, redesigned, lined up, and taken apart and put back together in multiple ways. Loose parts' theory is about remembering that the best play comes from things that allow children to play in many different ways.
