August 25th will be our first “Big and Little” event! This is meant to be a parent and child type of sensory activity to go along with a story! This means that children must be accompanied by an adult or caretaker over the age of 12 who will be supervising and participating with the child for the duration of the event! Register in person at the library!

To make this run as smoothly as possible and allow us to keep doing these types of things we ask a few things of participants:
When you arrive please wait 2 metres apart behind the lines
Approach the table one family at a time
Please form a line and respect social distancing requirements even when at the table
Participants must wear a mask/face covering unless exempt.
Hand sanitizer will be provided but handwashing is always best!
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to email us at hplsummerprogram@gmail.com and ask! We hope to see everyone soon!

Here are a few tips for folks who may not have played online trivia like this before.
This event will run using Zoom, as well as the Kahoot trivia platform. We recommend having Zoom opened on a laptop or desktop computer if possible, although a mobile device will work. Kahoot can then be opened on the same desktop device (in another tab or window) or on another mobile device.
The questions will appear to you on the Zoom screen and you will then select and submit your answers on Kahoot. Points are awarded for each question your family answers correctly with additional points given depending on how quickly you answer- the faster the better!
We ask that you please keep your microphone muted unless you have a question or comment to share. Too much background noise makes it difficult for others to hear the presenters!
Please contact us at hplsummerprogram@gmail.com if you have any questions. We will also be available in the Zoom meet found at the link below a few minutes before the event if you need help getting started.
This summer the library will once again be taking part in the TD Summer Reading Program!
This program was created to help combat the ‘summer slide’. A regression in academic proficiency that can occur due to kids being out of school and away from any formal education over the summer months. It is a super fun way to keep kids motivated and engage your children or grandchildren in reading.
There are print materials available for pick up at the Library, as well as a website for children to access. These are reading log books, stickers and access codes. The materials help support fun, engaging learning throughout the summer with different challenges, goal setting, jokes, games, and access to free e-books with no holds or waiting. Each week your child can check in, to update us on how their reading went that week. By checking in, they will be entered into prize draws and can add their name to our visual display of accomplishment in the library windows!
