The Halfmoon Bay Reading Centre is a partnership between the Halfmoon Bay/Chatelech Community School Association, the Halfmoon Bay Information and Referral Centre and the Sechelt Public Library. It is a volunteer-run initiative to connect Halfmoon Bay residents of all ages with library services.
Residents can order books online to pick up at Halfmoon Bay School library, every second Wednesday from 4 to 5 p.m. A drop box will be available during school hours for returns. There will be computers available and assistance for anyone in need of help connecting with the library online.
Each session will provide a theme, possibly a specialist on that subject, coffee and tea, and a chance to chat with friends and neighbours.
There will also be a used book sale to fundraise for the centre. If you have books you would like to donate, please call the Halfmoon Bay Information and Referral Centre at 604-551-8461 or email Wendy at [email protected]
