Virtual Author Event: Nafiza Azad

YA author Nafiza Azad will be joining us for a virtual author visit on December 6th!

Nafiza Azad is a self-identified island girl. She has hurricanes in her blood and dreams of a time she can exist solely on mangoes and pineapple. Her debut YA fantasy was the Morris Award–nominated The Candle and the Flame. Her other books include The Wild Ones and the shiny new Road of the Lost.

Nafiza will be speaking with the library and Chinook High School via Zoom at noon.  If you'd like an invitation to the session, email our teenbrarian at paige.mcgeorge@lethlib.ca.  If you can't make it to the live presentation, watch for a recording on our YouTube channel!

This event is presented with the support of the Alberta Foundation for the Arts.

Teen Advisory Group

Want to make a difference at the library?

The library's Teen Advisory Group (TAG) meets once a month at the Crossings Branch with the Teenbrarian. Together, they talk about teen programs and collections, and how to make the library better for youth. Volunteering with TAG is a great way to build leadership skills and contribute to the community.

SIGN UP HERE to be a part of TAG.

Next meetings:

  • November 8 at 4pm
  • December 13 at 4pm

Well look no further - let library staff pick items for you!

Simply fill out the "Surprise Me" form and let staff do the picking for you. Choose your format and genre from the list, and we'll fill a bag with items we think you'll love.

Once items have been selected, you will get a holds notice letting you know when you can come pick up your items.

Simple as that, and full of surprises!


Need a library card?

Get a library card!

If you are between the ages of 13-17, and want to get a free teen library membership so you can check out some sweet books and movies, just call 403-380-7330 (Main Branch) or 403-320-4037 (Crossings Branch)! You don't need an adult's permission to set up a card; as a teen, you're responsible for your own membership.

You can also drop by either branch or the Bookmobile and set up a membership in person.

If you need to renew your YA card, the process is the same!  

Happy borrowing!
