    Paint Day with Christina<\/strong>@Shkode Ma’iingan! What a great way to celebrate the start of First Nations Public Library Week! A huge thank you to Christina for sharing her amazing artistic talent and her beautiful teachings with us. We learned a lot about Makwa and the Eagle Feather and how we are bound together with nature. It was a wonderful afternoon learning new painting techniques and gaining confidence and the results were spectacular. To top off the afternoon, the Eagle Medicine Singers gathered to sing and drum. It was beautiful and so moving and uplifting. Feeling the heartbeat of the drum is so comforting! Thank you to Adrienne, Waseya and Christina for sharing with us! Chi Miigwech.<\/p>\n

    ================<\/p>\n

    New Books on the 7- Day Shelf<\/strong> this week is \u201cEnd Game\u201d by Jeffrey Archer, \u201cThe Doorman\u201d by Chris Pavone, \u201cChasing Evil\u201d by John Edward and \u201cA Slowly Dying Cause\u201d by Elizabeth George.<\/p>\n

    En Fran\u00e7ais, nous avons \u201cJe m\u2019appelle L\u00e9o Tome 1\u201d par Louise Tremblay D\u2019Essiambre.<\/p>\n

    Staff Pick of the Week<\/strong> – \u201cTreasure State\u201d by C.J. Box., (from Goodreads).<\/p>\n

    Private Investigator Cassie Dewell\u2019s business is thriving, and her latest case puts her on the hunt for a slippery con man who\u2019s disappeared somewhere in the \u201ctreasure state\u201d. A wealthy Florida widow has accused him of absconding with her fortune and wants Cassie to find him and get it back. The trail takes Cassie to Anaconda, Montana, a quirky former copper mining town that\u2019s the perfect place to reinvent yourself. As the case develops, Cassie begins to wonder if her client is telling her everything.<\/em><\/p>\n

    On top of that, Cassie is also working what’s easily one of her strangest assignments ever. A poem that promises buried treasure to one lucky adventurer has led to a cutthroat competition and five deaths among treasure-hunters. But Cassie\u2019s client doesn\u2019t want the treasure. Instead, he claims to be the one who hid the gold and wrote the poem. And he\u2019s hired Cassie to try to find him. Between the two cases, Cassie has her hands full.<\/em><\/p>\n

    In Montana, a killer view can mean more than just the scenery, and Cassie knows much darker things hide behind the picturesque landscape of Big Sky Country. Treasure State, C. J. Box’s highly anticipated follow-up to The Bitterroots , is full of more twists and turns than the switchbacks through the Anaconda Range.<\/em><\/p>\n

    New Movies on the Shelf<\/strong> this week are \u201cThe Last of Us\u201d starring Bella Ramsey and Pedro Pascal, \u201cThe Last Rodeo\u201d starring Neal McDonough and Ruve McDonough, and \u201cDisney Lilo & Stitch\u201d starring Sydney Agudong and Zach Galifianakis.<\/p>\n

    Our After-School Programs have begun!<\/strong> Children aged 5 and under must be accompanied by an adult. Parents of returning participants, please update your children\u2019s registration. New participants are asked to fill in a registration form! For the month of October, Tuesday is Craft and Story Club, Wednesday is Drawing Club, Thursday is Clay Club and Friday is Game Club! We look forward to another school year of fun programming! Stop in and pick up a pamphlet. For more information call the library at 705-856-2244, ext 290!<\/p>\n

    Dungeons & Dragons is back!<\/strong> Join us every Tuesday for D&D with Eric! Limited space available.<\/p>\n
