COQUITLAM
• Green your Home: Coquitlam Public Library is partnering with Vancity and Cool North Shore to show you how to identify and act on problem areas that cause your home to lose heat — and waste energy. Participants will learn simple, inexpensive steps they can take to reduce their carbon footprint, save on energy bills and make their homes more comfortable through all kinds of weather. The session runs from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 14 at the Poirier branch (Nancy Bennett Room). Space is limited so register by Monday, June 13; email [email protected] or leave a message on the library’s program registration line, 604-937-4155. Refreshments will be served.
• Book a Trip: Calling all children four years and older. This year’s summer reading club theme is Book a Trip! Travel to Coquitlam Public Library to join and to challenge your imagination, discover new worlds and new civilizations. Get lost in a book and travel around the planet or around the corner, back to the past or into the future… or to a new world altogether. Register at CPL’s summer party on June 25 or register at either branch starting June 1 and have fun reading all through the summer holidays.
