COQUITLAM
• Egg hunt: Kids can visit the City Centre branch on Thursday, March 24, 1:30 to 3 p.m., for an Easter egg hunt for children ranging from toddlers to the middle grades. Kids aged two to five will look for eggs with their parents amongst decorative flourishes in the library’s large meeting rooms while school-aged kids will be encouraged to search for eggs in the children’s and young adult areas. After retrieving plastic eggs, kids will take them to the prize table, where they can exchange them for candies or small gifts. The hunt is a non-religious activity and everyone is welcome to participate. For more information, call Chris at 604-554-7339 or [email protected].
