Summer is officially here! Many of you will be outside enjoying the (hopefully) great weather and exploring the great places and summer activities in New Westminster, the Lower Mainland, British Columbia or beyond.
Whether you are travelling to far-off places or staying local, it is also a great time to do some armchair travelling with New Westminster Public Library’s adult summer reading challenge, Book a Trip!
Each week we invite you to explore a new travel theme, spanning from our own backyard to the far reaches of the galaxy and to fantastical worlds.
We hope that your summer reading, watching and listening will take you to places you’ve never been or inspire you to look closer at the world around us.
Track your progress with the adult summer reading booklet, available now.
Complete at least one challenge each week to be entered to win one of three prizes at the end of the summer. Entries must be received by Friday, Aug. 26 and winners will be announced Monday, Aug. 29.
The adult reading challenges can also work in tandem with summer reading for children and teens, also themed Book a Trip!
The connection is optional: adult readers are free to choose their own titles, but parents may want to coordinate reading schedules with their kids. It’s up to you.
On July 14, the Capilano Guitar Trio will be at the main library to help transport you around the world of music. The trio will perform an eclectic concert of works from Jacobean England, baroque and classical Italy, as well as folk and popular music from around the world. The dynamic program includes works by Vivaldi, Pujol, Lennon and McCartney, and more. Formed in 2013, the trio’s members are Miri Kim, Matthew Silverman and Stephen Boswell.
Visit us at our main library or Queensborough branch to grab a booklet. For questions, email [email protected] or call 604-527-4666.
