The North Battleford Library is having a resume review session for teens to help them apply for summer jobs! Teens are invited to come to the library on June 8th between 1:00 and 3:00pm for help with their resumes and cover letters. Resumes can be brought on paper or USB sticks, and we’ll be here to go over them with you. No registration required, as this is a drop-in program.
Did you know that Saskatchewan has a superhero? We do, and his name is Auroraman! He’s from Humboldt, and the North Battleford Library is thrilled to host his creator, Jeff Burton, for an author talk on April 15th @ 7pm. Come learn about all the crazy exploits of the Super Power of the Prairies!
Blind Date with a Book begins tomorrow! Throughout February, come to the North Battleford Library and choose a mystery book to read. Then, rate your “date” and enter for a chance to win a prize! We’ve got a variety of books for you to choose from, and will be adding new ones as they get checked out.
The Lakeland Library Region Winter Reading Program is here for 2019! You can join in the fun with bingo cards and a trivia challenge. For more information, or to get a bingo card or trivia challenge sheet, check out our website:

We’re starting a book club for teens at the North Battleford Library! The club will feature YA books, and participants will be able to suggest and vote on future reads. Our first read will be Highly Illogical Behavior by John Corey Whaley. Copies are available at the library. Our first meeting will be January 29th, 4pm, right after school. We hope to see you there!
The staff of the North Battleford Library would like to wish you and yours a very happy holiday and a lovely new year!
Here at the North Battleford Library, we’re in the process of developing a writing session idea, and would love to hear what you think!
The idea is that we get together and write something based on a given prompt. Afterwards, teens can share what they’ve written, if interested, and have positive feedback, or constructive criticism of their work. No dissing allowed, no tearing apart another’s work; this is to help us all become better writers for school, or just for fun.
Any thoughts? We’d love to hear them!
The library is holding a trivia night on November 6th! Teams of 2-4 must register by calling us at 306-445-3206. Come enjoy a fun night of testing your knowledge of seemingly useless facts that we all tend to build up in our brains. Prizes will be awarded to the team who gets most answers correct and the least answers correct. So grab a few friends and make a team. Hope to see you there!
