Calling all young explorers! Your next adventure starts today! Join us as we practice more peace and kindness!
Let’s get started:
- Pick up a Take & Make Kit from your library branch to make a poppy or a peace dove.
- Play Kindness Bingo.
- Use our conversation prompts to have important discussions about conflict resolution.
- Read one of these books from our collection that explore peace, kindness and friendship.
- Download this month’s activity sheet if you prefer to get started from home.
Explorers are welcome to join the program at any time. Here’s how it works:
- Pick up a passport from your local branch to begin a full year of learning, reading, doing, and having a whole lot of fun!
- Visit your local branch each month to pick up a themed craft kit and activity sheet.
- Complete at least one of the activities
- Return to the branch to get your passport stamped and ballot entered into a grand prize draw for a tablet! The draw will take place at the end of the program in February 2024.

This week be prepared to take a look at how crazy and amazing plants actually are! We will learn that they do a lot more for their survival and our environment than we may have thought – they don’t just sit there! What do plants eat? Bugs? Sunshine? Cheese sandwiches? Join us for week 6 and find out! This week’s theme is “Check this out! Plants Aplenty!”
To have fun exploring this week’s theme from home, download our “plant-iful” colouring sheet and check out this week’s online reading list – we have “plant-y” of themed books there! (sorry for the puns, we couldn’t help it 🌱) And as always, we encourage you to head to your local library branch to find even more amazing books! We hope to see you there!
Enjoy the sunshine this week!

This week we are making some friends that are… a little bit different than the usual! Check this out! Monster Mayhem! We are learning that not all monsters are scary, just misunderstood, and some monsters need confidence and the power of friendship to defeat! Some can even teach us a thing or two about our emotions and how to deal with them! We need your bravery, confidence, and creativity this week at the library for our session to face these monsters together! We hope to see you there!
To have fun exploring this week’s theme at home, download our monstrous colouring sheets and have a look through this week’s marvelous reading list! Head over to your local library branch and see if you can find a friendly monster book!
Keep reading!
