This September, the New Westminster Public Library is launching several programs.
The inaugural session of our new Health Information Series will be Getting to Know Dementia, presented in collaboration with the Alzheimer Society of B.C.

Join in on Tuesday, Sept. 10 from 6 to 8 p.m. No registration required.
Our new Legal Information Series launches Sept. 11 in conjunction with People’s Law School. The first session will focus on establishing a Power of Attorney and knowing when one is needed. Join in on Wednesday, Sept. 11 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. No registration required.
New West City Reads is a new group reading program intended for those who like book clubs but may not be able to commit on a monthly basis. This fall there will be six sessions (two per month), each focusing on a different book. Sign up for the nights with books that interest you and skip the ones that don’t.
