West Grey Library is busy, despite having closed its Durham Branch until early September for much-needed floor replacement — so many books! Ayton and Neustadt are enjoying new hours as of mid-August — see website for details.
On August 19, Master Gardener Vicky Thompson takes local gardeners on a peek into Native Plants for the Home Garden. Register by August 18 for your Zoom invitation, at adultprograms@westgreylibrary.com.
On August 26th at 4:30 pm, the Library hosts Back to School Mental Health for the Whole Family, a Zoom session with Jackie Ralph, Youth Awareness & Education at Canadian Mental Health Association Grey Bruce. This session is aimed at parents who want to support their children’s mental health and their own, as students get ready to return to in-person classes.
The Library’s Summer Book Bingo continues until September 3rd, when all cards must be returned. Modest prizes await!
The TD Summer Reading Program winds up on August 20. The weekly LEGO challenges for kids and Teen Book Quizzes continue on Instagram.

The TD Summer Reading Program is winding up, with reading logs due Friday, August 20th.

At South Grey News, we endeavour to bring you truthful and factual, up-to-date local community news in a quick and easy-to-digest format that’s free of political bias. We believe this service is more important today than ever before, as social media has given rise to misinformation, largely unchecked by big corporations who put profits ahead of their responsibilities.
South Grey News does not have the resources of a big corporation. We are a small, locally owned-and-operated organization. Research, analysis and physical attendance at public meetings and community events requires considerable effort. But contributions from readers and advertisers, however big or small, go a long way to helping us deliver positive, open and honest journalism for this community.
Please consider supporting South Grey News with a donation in lieu of a subscription fee and let us know that our efforts are appreciated. Thank you.
