12 Days of Giving

Support the food banks this winter by bringing donations of non-perishable food to the library branches!

We're collecting for the Lethbridge Food Bank and the Interfaith Food Bank until December 12.  Look for the bins by our Customer Service Desks!

Throughout December, you can also bring gloves, mittens, hats, and scarves to the Crossings Branch to fill our mitten tree.  All the warm things will be donated to local charities to keep Lethbridge cozy this winter.


Teen Book Club

Love Reading? Meet up with other teen readers with our monthly book club!

Our next book is The Sky Is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson.  We'll meet on Friday, December 15 at 4pm to talk about it.

If you're one of the first 6 teens to sign up for this month's book club, you'll get a special loot box that includes a copy of the book to keep! Let us know if you'd like to pick up your box at the Main Branch or the Crossings Branch.  The teenbrarian will contact you when your box is ready to be picked up.

Remember: by signing up, you're saying you'll do your best to finish the book by December 15, 2023, and show up for the discussion either online or at the Crossings Branch.
