Welcome Back!

Where did the summer go? 

Welcome back  everyone!  Now’s the time to come in and check out a new read.  The selection is at its best and there are new titles to choose from.  Have a look at our displays.

What did you read over the summer?

I got lost in “Sweden” with writer Henning Mankell and his Kurt Wallander thrillers.  Thanks to Mr. Royer for sharing these books with me.  Whenever it got too hot outside I could disappear into one of the dark, brooding novels.  There’s nothing like a good mystery to get you thinking.  I can’t believe I’m actually reading my 9th title!

Looking for something in particular?

Don’t forget you can request titles and I’ll do my best to get them for you.  I like to keep up with all the exciting new authors and books. Please let me know what you’d like to see in the collection.

Argyle Gallery Night

Gallery Night is back!

May 8 – 10th is gallery night at Argyle.

Day time hours are 8:30am – 3:00pm

Evening hours are 6:30 – 9:00pm

The student work displayed is amazing!  The library is set up like an art gallery and everyone is encouraged to come and take a look.  The public is invited and classes are welcome to drop down!  I’m always incredibly impressed with the students’ level of skill and  creativity.

Everyone should check it out!

Game on! C’est parti!

Thanks so much to our PAC for providing funds to purchase games for the library.  We’re ready to play in French and English!  Look for a new Chess/Games Club to start after Spring Break.

Come in and check out one of our new books.  Argyle’s library purchases books all year long and welcomes suggestions from our readers.  If you’re looking for something new and interesting, you may find it here!
