Are you getting excited for the Christmas season? Let New Westminster Public Library help you celebrate with our 2016 adult holiday programming.
On Dec. 1 at 7:30 p.m., join us at the main branch for a concert by the Capilano Guitar Trio – back by popular demand from a very well-received library concert this past July. The trio will perform arrangements on three guitars, including Christmas favourites and festive classics by Vivaldi, Pachelbel and Bach. Formed in 2013, the trio’s members are Miri Kim, Matthew Silverman and Stephen Boswell. This is a free drop-in event, so there is no registration required.
Also at the main branch, join us on Dec. 8 at 7 p.m. for a performance by New Westminster Secondary School’s choral department. The performance will feature popular holiday songs and choral music, and will include a chance for the audience to sing along.
This is also a free drop-in event with no registration needed.
Adults can get their Christmas crafting fix at the library’s Adult Holiday Crafternoon on Dec. 17 from 2 to 4 p.m. Hosted by Denise Corcoran, a talented crafter and upcycler who blogs at Thrifty by Design (www.thriftybydesign.ca) where she chronicles her adventures turning “junk” into funky and useful keepsakes. This is a free program, but registration is required. Call 604-527-4666 to register.
And don’t forget the library’s Christmas collection is now available for loan. Movies include long-held classics such as A Christmas Carol and Holiday Inn, along with more recent favourites such as A Christmas Story and Elf. Books include a variety of Christmas-themed fiction, as well as non-fiction materials such as cookbooks, craft books and how-to books for decorating and entertaining. Music selections include new and classic Christmas albums.
So come browse our Christmas shelves and find something to help you celebrate the holidays.
