We will be welcoming little monsters, ghosts and other characters to our libraries

Pumpkin decorating contest 

October 17-23, library members can bring their decorated pumpkins to the Bibliothèque Saul-Bellow or Bibliothèque de Saint-PIerre. Requirements: The pumpkins must be full (not hollowed out) and be decorated to resemble a character from literature, a movie or a video game. Let your imagination run wild! October 24-30, residents will have the chance to vote for their favourite pumpkin. Many prizes will be given.

Draw of a big pot of candy

To obtain a draw coupon, young people aged 16 and under must borrow 5 books. Who will get the candies?
