We are CLOSED to the public for 4 weeks, due to new Covid-19 Provincial Restrictions. These mandatory restrictions apply provincewide and will be in place at least until January 12, 2021.
We will however be working behind the scenes to bring you online and virtual programming.
Storytimes are available on our Facebook page and our website, and we are adding to them regularly.
Be sure to check out the Chestermere Anchor News YouTube channel for our storytime, crafts and science videos.
TumbleBooks
We know that children are home for a longer holiday this year and we have some great resources that may help. If you check out our website at https://www.chestermerepubliclibrary.com/ you will notice a drop-down on the top banner, labelled eResources. Once you click on that tab, you will be brought to a page that lists a multitude of electronic resources that are available with your library membership. These resources allow access to newspapers, magazines, movies, and music.
One of our favourites is TumbleBooks. Once you are logged in, you can choose from a large variety of stories, some even have animations that children will love. These resources can help with early literacy. There are also read-alongs for children, starting from very early literacy levels and moving up to chapter books. You can also find books in different languages, as well as videos about various subjects, such as science and history. It’s worth taking a look around once you are in TumbleBooks. If you and your children love it, don’t forget to let your friends know about it.
Graphic Novels and Manga
Love reading Comic Books, Graphic Novels, or Manga? Interested in participating with an online group of people who enjoy it as much as you? Join one of our Graphic Novel and Manga Clubs. There’s one for adults and one for teens. We will be enjoying a different theme each month. The theme for December is “Web Comics”. Join us on Discord to chat about the books you read. Registration is available on our website. Go to our website at https://www.chestermerepubliclibrary.com/, click programs and events and scroll down to Graphic Novel and Manga Club. Under information about our club, find the bullet that says, ‘To request an invite to discord’. You will be taken to a registration form to complete, and you will be added to the club.
