November is almost here, and the Moose Jaw Public Library (MJPL) has plenty in store.
Naiomi Setter, public service/social media clerk with the MJPL, said they’re planning to have their Veteran Banner Display put up on the ends of the Adult stacks sometime during the first week of November.
“The library last year was asked by the Heritage Advisory Committee to do a smaller display of the veteran banners that the City has put on the streetlight posts in downtown Moose Jaw,” explained Setter.
“We’re going to continue with that tradition this year – there's a few more banners that we’ve added.”
Storytimes continue in November, with Baby Storytime for those ages 0-2 on Tuesdays at 10:30 a.m., Preschool Storytime for those ages 2-5 on Wednesdays at 10:30 a.m., and Daycare Storytime for those ages 2-5 on Thursdays at 10:30 a.m. French Storytime will be happening on Nov. 4 and Nov. 18 at 10:30 a.m., geared at children 0-5 years old.
