Do you like nature, animals and adventure? The theme for this year’s TD Summer Reading Club is Destination Jungle.
You will receive a Destination Jungle poster, stickers and a Destination Jungle Field Notes!
Come back to the library every Thursday starting July 8, and make sure to bring your Field Notes with you!
Show the library staff your Field Notes to see if you got the jungle riddle of the week right, and show them what you have been reading to receive a small reward. Also you will be entered in a weekly draw for great prizes!
Kids aged 6 and over can register at the library, by calling, or online.

The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters Tackle Share program is now available through the Terrace Bay Public Library.
This program is designed to lend fishing equipment to youth and novice anglers who do not have their own.
Fishing is a wonderful way to get outdoors and enjoy some fun with family and friends. Angling teaches, young and old alike, first hand the importance of healthy waterways, and develops a lifelong interest in conserving our natural resources.
Anyone can sign out rods, reels, and tackle free of charge!
Check it out @ your library!
More information about the program is available at http://www.tackleshare.com
Ontario Time Machine is an online learning site for Grade 7 and 8 students of Ontario history and their teachers; the site was just awarded the Ontario Minister of Culture Award for Innovation (Large Library Category). A joint project of the Toronto, Hamilton and Kingston Frontenac Public Library systems, it showcases a selection of some 30 books from Ontario’s early days. The books are presented in a fun format – readers can actually turn the virtual pages! They’re also enriched by librarians with definitions, images, sound files and more. The site also offers classroom activities that specifically support the Ontario history curriculum.
There is also a contest. The rules for the Digital Scavenger Hunt contest are simple – students use Ontario Time Machine to answer five questions. All correct entries are eligible for a draw – they can then win a digital camera, MP3 player or pizza. The contest deadline is May 1, 2009.
