The Theatre is open from 9-11am, 124pm. Right now air quality in the Downtown Eastside is poor, due to smoke from wildfires to the south. If you are in respiratory distress, you are welcome to spend a short time in the theatre, which has cleaner air due to a filtration system. Activities in this large room includea table staffed by library workers, separated tables to read at, and some Learning Centre stuff. Ask staff about what is there. Washrooms are also available during these times. Masks are encouraged but not mandatory. .

CRtJ N C H ~ cLtes Skid Row Bum ~ by Cecile Henry ~
Eyes with clouds of pain. Scars to show the pain. Bottle of cheap liquor to take away the pain. • Every day. He is a skid row bum.
He's been through it all. Nothing surprises him now. But does he cry at night? When he's on his park bench Or under the bypass Does he cry?
