Ontario Public Library Week (OPLW) is October 16 to 21 and to celebrate, Chatham-Kent Public Library (CKPL) is hosting a variety of fun programs, making CKPL the place to be this October! Help CKPL celebrate its 25th anniversary by decorating a leaf for one of CKPL’s silver trees and sharing what CKPL means to you. Trees will be on display at all CKPL branches throughout OPLW.
Visit your local library branch this October and discover all the great services the library offers year-round. Trivia nights, storytimes, chess clubs, Friday Fun puzzles, 3D printers, free wifi, play packs and storykits to borrow, and so much more! CKPL is also treating patrons by offering a sweet treat for every branch visit during OPLW. While supplies last.
