DRESS REHEARSAL: 1 Cello, 2 Cello, 3 Cello, More Cello!

-

Please note that registration is required to attend. If you wish to attend the 7:00 PM concert, a separate registration is required.

One cello becomes two, two becomes three… and before long, there are cellos everywhere!

Cellist Kerri McGonigle brings together players from across our community for a celebration of the cello in all its forms, from the intimacy of a single instrument to the glorious sound of a full cello ensemble.

Featuring music for one, two, three and many cellos, this is a celebration of music, community and what happens when you just keep adding cellists - and one instrument becomes something much bigger.

This dress rehearsal will offer a behind-the-scenes look at the musical process, complete with all the stops, starts and spontaneous moments!

Made By Hand: Embroidery

-

Due top the closure at the Craigleith Heritage Depot,  this program is now being held at the L.E. Shore Library.

Step back in time this fall at the Craigleith Heritage Depot as we explore traditional crafts and create toys and treasures inspired by generations past. Participants will discover how everyday objects were made before modern technology, while learning simple sewing, weaving, and crafting skills.

This month we will be  learning embroidery stitches. Participants will receive a hoop, floss and embroidery template.

Throughout the season, participants will also create felt-sewn bookmarks, try their hand at basic weaving, and enjoy a variety of heritage-inspired projects that celebrate the art of making by hand.

Ages 10+ . All supplies provided. Registration required.

Letters to Santa

Letters to Santa: The North Pole Mailbox Is Open!

The North Pole is calling, and Santa’s mailbox is ready for your letters!

Starting Thursday, November 26, visit the L.E. Shore Library and discover our North Pole Writing Station, complete with festive stationery and a bright red mailbox ready to carry your holiday wishes straight to Santa!

We’re delighted that The Imagination Studio has partnered with us once again, creating a whimsical Santa letter template to make your letter extra special. Pick up your template at the North Pole Writing Station at the L.E. Shore Library and get ready to put your Christmas wishes on paper!

Here’s how it works:

Pick up your Santa letter template at the North Pole Writing Station. Write your letter and include your child’s first and last name, caregiver’s email address, and home address so Santa knows where to send his reply. Handwrite your address for some extra printing practice! Drop your letter into the bright red North Pole Mailbox at the Library. Let Santa’s helpers take care of the rest!

How will Santa reply?

Library staff will email you a digital copy of your child’s letter from Santa. If you’d like to keep the original letter and a printed copy of Santa’s reply, both will be available for pickup at the front circulation desk.

Letters to Santa runs November 26 to December 17. Be sure to bring your letters along to Olde Fashion Christmas on December 12 and enjoy a little festive fun!

The mailbox is waiting, the elves are ready, and Santa can’t wait to hear from you!
