You can still book a one-on-one appointment with Tye. Whether you're finding technology overwhelming, or just want to brush up on your tech skills, Tye can help.

To request an appointment, ask for a form at the circulation desk or email Tye directly at twatson@princerupertlibrary.ca



Knit & Crochet Social

Every Thursday afternoon the Library hosts a cozy group of crafters. If you knit, crochet, or have a similarly portable textile based hobby, you should come and try it out. 

This is a social event for self-directed individuals to bring their personal projects.

December Catch-up

We had a fairly quiet December, but we needed that after the hustle and bustle of our October and November events. We have been enjoying the holiday cheer that comes with Christmas decorations and a working heating system.

Of course, we were also closed a few days after Christmas and hope that recharge time serves us well in January.
 
Our salmon eggs have eyes! And I think I can see an outline of the fish forming?


Your Prince Rupert Library card also provides access to CELA and Libby. If you have any questions about these available services, please ask at the circulation desk.
