Storytime with Santa was a success at the Boyne Regional Library on Dec. 16. That afternoon, Santa stopped by the library to read several Christmas books to children under the library’s Christmas tree.
“As he entered the building, children lit up as they heard ‘Ho Ho Ho!’ and followed him to our sitting area,” said Lynsey Hannah of Boyne Regional Library. “The children were all very excited to interact with him in such a fun way. He read some classic stories and some funny holiday stories too. Some children were dressed up, and took photos with him after the storytime.”
The library is also promoting its Discover And Go program, which will continue until March of 2024. The program was funded by a grant that the library received from the Arts, Culture, and Sports Community Fund.
“The grant was awarded in the spring of 2023 and has had a lot of success at the library since then,” said Hannah. “The purpose of the Discover And Go Program is to provide free passes to community programs, workshops, and events using a valid library membership. Our Discover And Go program is a way of connecting people to each other and their community.”
Currently, complimentary passes are available for Carman Collegiate Cougar hockey home games, Beaver hockey home games, and the Active Living Centre classes, including fitness, pickleball, table tennis and dances. The passes are available on a first-come basis.
Boyne Regional Library encourages the community to follow their social media accounts and check out their website often for more ticket releases.
