West Grey Library Jigsaw Puzzle Contest 'fits' the bill

West Grey Library’s second Jigsaw Puzzle Contest saw a fun and friendly crowd make the most of a slushy day.

Sibling team Marisol and Amalia took the top prize, completing their 500-piece mystery puzzle in an amazing 45 minutes, topping a group of 9 teams. It was all good fun as a fundraiser for the West Grey Library, and the feedback was heart-warmingly positive.

February’s adult programs will start with Internet and Password Safety with a volunteer from the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre on Thursday, February 1st at 2:30pm. Oil Painting for the Confident Beginner is on Saturday, February 3rd starting at 10:30 am. Pre-registration is recommended.

This month there will be a ‘count the hearts’ competition at each branch, counting the candies in a jar. Guess what the prize is? Yup – the jar of candies! That starts February 8th.

Through the month there will be sessions on oil painting, beekeeping, creative writing, gardening, journaling, and even winter raptors! There’s also a chance for adults to listen to staff reading from Emily Carr’s The Book of Small. All activities are on the Library’s website and registration is available on Eventbrite, as well as in person or by phone 519.369.2107 or email adultprograms@westgreylibrary.com

Craft kits and in-residence visits don’t require pre-registration.

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.
