Calendar

Join the 100% Certainty Book Club as we share the time and the opportunity to discuss life and death through a chosen book. Together we work to comfortably grow the conversations around illness and dying, in a warm and supportive space.

This month we will discuss Left on Tenth: A Second Chance at Life by Delia Ephron.

Voted "best memoir" of 2022 by Marie Claire, and "most anticipated book of 2022" by TIME, Bustle, Publishers Weekly and more, Left on Tenth is about finding great love after great loss.

"Delia Ephron enchants as she seesaws us between tears and laughter, navigating the suicidal lows of enduring cutting-edge treatment and the giddy highs of a second chance at love." Little Brown and Company

Copies of the book are available to borrow. Please register in advance. 

Join us for stories with special guest Santa in the Alder Recreation Centre Atrium. 

Songs and stories start at 10:30 a.m. Don't forget to bring your camera to get a photo with Santa afterwards!

Join Tanis for fun activities and to learn about volunteer opportunities at the library. TAG will meet at the Alder location.

The Teen Advisory Group (TAG) provides an opportunity for local youth to share their ideas about the library's teen programs, services and collection. Members can earn high school community service volunteer hours. 

Join us with our friends from EarlyON Dufferin for songs, stories and a craft in the park. Your little ones are encouraged to wear their costumes and enjoy Halloween stories, songs, and crafts. 

Meet at Village Green Park, 53 Hewitt St., at 10 a.m.

The After Hours Write Club is a writing workshop facilitated by local author Anthony Carnovale. This is the last date of the fall session.

Meet at the Mill Street Library at 7 p.m.

Please register and don't forget to pack your writing supplies and if you're like Anthony, a good cup of coffee. 

Join Orangeville, Shelburne and Grand Valley Public Libraries for coffee and conversation with Barrie Shepley.

Barrie’s book, Chasing Greatness, follows his journey from a small southern Ontario town without a stoplight, to Caledon and eventually to the highest levels of Olympic sport. He shares the highs and lows of sports and will share the never spoken stories that go on before and during elite television coverage. As good of a writer as Barrie is, his real forte is public speaking, so his presentation is sure to inspire, make you laugh and might even make you shed a tear or two.

Barrie is a Caledon based Gold Medal Olympic Triathlon Coach. At the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, Barrie led Simon Whitfield to the first ever Olympic gold medal in the sport of triathlon. Since 2000, Barrie has been to 5 additional Olympic Games as both coach and CBC commentator. Barrie has helped raise millions of dollars for Canadian charities and has steered hundreds of athletes to USA scholarships, World Championship medals and professional careers.
