Library Patron Appreciation Day Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent
October is National Library Month. To thank and show appreciation to their patrons, Vegreville Centennial Library offered a Library Patron Appreciation Day on October 16 where they gave free refreshments and goodies to their patrons. Michelle Kit was there with her family day home’s children. One of the little boys said his favorite part of the library is getting books and taking them home so his mother can read the books to him. This is so much fun! He also likes the way the library is decorated with all the
vibrant colors and pictures around. As well, the librarians are really nice and friendly. Michelle said she loves that the library is open to the public because her children and herself are able to step out of the house and have a bit of different scenery in the day and be involved in a variety of things that they normally wouldn’t get to do. Also, they love that the library offers the programs that they are able to take in because it is a good way to socialize their kids a bit more when they take them out in public.

Poliofest event on October 18 at Vegreville Elks Hall to help to eliminate polio in other countries. “This is an initiative that the Rotary Foundation has been doing for many years. It is extremely important because the proceeds help to vaccine people so they don’t get polio in foreign countries as there have been some cases of polio over there,” Rotary Club President, Ashley Browning said. This event had a very low admission cost as they wanted everyone to have a chance to enjoy a fun evening out with a German-style meal and a LEGO-Walk
