Discover Sixty-Five: June 2022

CASTLEGAR LIBRARY
• The library offers Outreach
services to seniors at Castlewood,
Castleview and Talarico
Place. A librarian visits these
facilities on a monthly basis
to bring and pick up materials
and will also drop off and pick
up books to individuals who
are home bound.
• We also have an online book
club in partnership with the
Kootenay Library Federation.
The books for these clubs can
be picked up at our library
once the person registers.
• Other services include our
subscription to the Centre
for Equitable Library Access.
A collection for those with
print disabilities. We also have
a wide selection of large print
books and audio books on CD
here in the library.

Knock, knock.
Who’s there?
A broken pencil.
A broken pencil who?
Never mind.
It’s pointless.
PEN PAL CLUB
Libraries across the Kootenays
are bringing back the
lost art of correspondence.
Join the club and we will
match you up with someone
to correspond with
– either by email or the old
fashioned way – snail mail.
This is a great opportunity
to encourage one another
in a trying time!
Here is how it works:
Register by emailing Melodie
Rae at mstorey@nelson.
ca and answer these four
questions:
1) Are you a kid/teen/
adult?
2) Do you want a kid/teen/
adult pen pal?
3) What are your interests?
4) Do you want to correspond
by email or snail
mail?
Give us a few days, but
eventually the library will
match you with someone
in the Kootenays who is a
good fit for you.
Write a letter or create
some artwork for your new
pen pal and send it by
taking a picture of it and
emailing it to Melodie
Rae at
mstorey@nelson.ca
OR Canada Post it to the
library address:
NELSON PUBLIC LIBRARY:

through the library).
