Books Plus runs in The Tri-City News each Friday to highlight programs and happenings in the Tri-Cities three libraries: Coquitlam Public Library Port Moody Public Library and Terry Fox Library in Port Coquitlam.
TERRY FOX (POCO)
Large Print Materials
Many popular fiction and non-fiction titles are available in large print. We attempt to purchase new and bestseller large print books published simultaneously with the regular print. As well, we endeavour to maintain a good selection of mysteries, science fiction, westerns, romance and classic fiction.
Deposit Collections
The library invites care centres and nursing homes to take advantage of our Deposit Collection Service. We loan out 50 to 100 Large Print books for up to four to six months.
If you are interested in this service, please call Teresa Rehman, Community Services Librarian at Terry Fox Library, 604-937-4140 (local 234).
PORT MOODY
Summer Reading Club
There is still time to join the "Savour Each Word" Summer Reading Club. This great free program helps keep kids reading all summer long. Members get a free bookmark and reading record to keep track their reading. They can collect weekly stickers, enter draws for book prizes and attend special events. All kids who read for at least 50 days will receive a special medal. This year's medal ceremony is on August 27.
Plant It, Grow It, Eat It! (registration required)
This program takes place on Thursday, July 21 from 10-11 a.m. It is for Summer Reading Club members aged 5-10 who want to celebrate this year's theme by growing their very own edible plant. Our City of Port Moody gardening experts, led by Polly Coad, will take kids through the planting process and offer a behind-the-scenes look at the flora and fauna surrounding the civic centre. Please dress for the weather, we will be going outdoors - ParkLane Room/ Civic Centre grounds. Space is limited to 25 children so please pre-registration in-person or by calling 604 469-4577.
