 Jo Lalonde’s mastery of chalk art is nothing short of spectacular and the library is pleased to have the artist visit and make the sidewalks outside of the Picton branch of County of Prince Edward Public Library come alive with her pieces on Saturday, June 8 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

At 1 p.m., Lalonde will also be inside the library presenting a talk on street art and her experiences as a chalk artist. All are invited to come see the artist at work and learn about how street artists take their talents to the street.

Continuing with summer creativity, the library has been busy designing a full and fun filled schedule of activities and special events for children and families for July and August.

With school ending and to encourage continued reading, the library is once again building much of its summer programming around the TD Summer Reading Club.

The theme of this year’s Club is “GO!”, encouraging young readers to “explore far and near!”.

The kick-off party begins the summer of fun at the Wellington branch at 2 p.m. with Tabby Johnson (returning by popular demand) to tell her amazing stories and sing songs from around the world. Sign up to join the Reading Club at the party for your chance to win prizes, and find out about all the events going on at the six branches of the library all summer long. You can also sign up at any branch after July 1st launch to sign up, receive your passport to reading, stickers and activity book.

In keeping with the “Go!” theme, we will celebrate countries around the world on various dates and at different branches, exploring the cultures, stories and foods of places like Brazil, Russia, France, China, Jamaica, Ireland, and others.

Enjoy a Travels to India Tea Party, an Iranian Tea Party, Kids Cook Around The World workshops and Kids Play Games Around the World events, too. 

There will be “Build a Band” workshops, and children can learn to make kites as well as many other fun arts and travel related activities.

Special events include a performance by ventriloquist Yvette Locke at the Milford Town Hall on Tuesday, July 23 at 2 p.m.

On Wednesday, July 31 at 11 a.m, join Kingston author Sarah Tsiang for a reading of her book A Flock of Shoes and a related craft at the Wellington branch.

On Thursday, August 1 at 2 p.m., the library presents The Mystic Drumz at the Bloomfield Town Hall at 2 p.m. Come for an adventure to find Marshmallow Island. Meet all the hilarious characters that colour the show in this adventure in world music that blends multicultural music themes and interactive audience participation with incredible sound effects and eclectic instruments sourced from around the world. 

The next day, Friday, August 2 at 11 a.m. the ever-popular Queen’s University Barefoot Players present “Play On!” an adaptation of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night at the Picton branch.

At the Ameliasburgh branch on August 6 at 2 p.m., come sing songs from around the globe with Sam Hirst.

Friday, August 9 at 11 a.m., The Manotick Brass will present a unique opportunity for children of all ages. “What’s the Buzz?” is their lively presentation designed to introduce children to the joys of brass music. The rap style introduction begins the 45-minute workshop where children are given one-on-one instruction on the techniques of buzzing on trumpet mouthpieces. 

On Saturday, August 24, TVOKids will have their very own Gisèle from the popular television show Gisèle’s Big Backyard visit the County. Meet and read with Gisele at 2 p.m. at the Piston branch.

The summer of activity will wrap up with a Kite Festival, which, weather permitting, will be celebrated outside.  Don’t miss this wrap up party!

Bring a friend!

The County of Prince Edward Public Library and The Regent Theatre have joined forces to bring the award-winning documentary “Revolution” by Rob Stewart to the Regent Theatre. There will be free showings for the community and for school students on Monday, June 3.

High school students and those in senior elementary grades, through reserved seating, will see the film at 9 a.m. and 12:15. 

 A free showing for the public will be screened at 5:15 p.m.

 The film has been hailed as a “must see” by many including David Suzuki who insists that, “If you go to one movie this year, it must be Revolution.” 

 Winner of International Film Festival awards in Toronto, Vancouver, Santa Barbara, and Victoria as well as the Atlantic Film Festival, Revolution is a film about changing the world.

 It is the true-life adventure of biologist and filmmaker Rob Stewart that continues the   remarkable journey of his acclaimed Sharkwater documentary.

 Traveling to fifteen countries over four years, Stewart investigates the most significant environmental issues on earth, and works to find answers to saving the ecosystems we depend on for survival. He embarks on an adventure that takes him from the coral reefs in Papua New Guinea and deforestation in Madagascar to the largest environmental project in history in Alberta, Canada. In doing so, he reveals how all of our actions are interconnected and that environmental issues are reducing the earth’s ability to house humans. How did this happen, and what will it take to change the course on which humanity has set itself? These are the questions the film attempts to answer, all the while presenting startlingly beautiful images of our world.

 Stewart also meets with dedicated individuals and organizations that are working on solutions, and finds encouragement and hope that inspire and educate.

 Education is key and the motivation for offering free showings to the County’s youth.

 Having viewed the documentary’s movie trailer and investigated the Revolution website, Scott Young, Head of the Science Department at Prince Edward Collegiate, said the film, “…ties in beautifully with the science curriculum.”

 Close to 500 students will be attending from PECI and over 250 from elementary schools, “numbers which are made possible due to our partnership with the Regent,” says library CEO Barbara Sweet

 The theatre plays an integral role in our community and the collaborations with the library over recent years have made possible unique educational opportunities including author visits and musical presentations. This is the first joint venture based on a film screening.

 “The Regent Theatre values its long-standing partnership with Prince Edward County Public Library,” says The Regent’s General Manager, Bob Schroen, “and we’re pleased to co-present the multi-award winning film, Revolution.” 

 All three showing are being screened free of charge. The Regent is a non-profit organization and it is with the help of its volunteers that events such as this are made possible. 

 “We value the continued community support of the theatre – a vital cultural institution,” says Schroen, “and hope that if you are not a Regent member, that you will consider becoming one or volunteering.”  The theater relies on memberships, sponsorships, advertising, council grants and thousands of hours from its volunteers to maintain the quality of its programming and to keep the lights burning on Picton’s Main Street marquee.

 The library and the theatre share similar goals of contributing to the quality of life in the County. To support and learn more about both, visit their respective websites at: theregenttheatre.org and peclibrary.org 

Events

This Saturday, May 25 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Friends of the Picton Library present their popular Better Books Sale. Come get a great deal on gift-quality books and support the library.

This Sunday, May 26, you are cordially invited to the Regent Theatre from 2 to 4 p.m as Ruth Abernethy presents her PowerPoint presentation “Face 2 Face” with John A.
Ruth will illustrate the importance of public art in promoting local history and commerce in the region. She will also be unveiling her latest work.
The Bicentennial of Macdonald’s birth in 2015 followed by the Sesquicentennial of Canada in 2017 are once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to celebrate Canada.
We invite you and your guests to join Ruth Abernethy and Richard Gwyn at the reception following the event as well. For more on this event, visit www.macdonaldproject.com
