Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Coffee and Culture last Wednesday! Johanna led us through the 200-year history of the fur trade post at Michipicoten and the deep imprint it continues to have on the Wawa landscape.\u00a0 Economic activity, social ties with the Michipicoten residents, environmental impacts and continued archaeological interest make the Michipicoten Post a legendary place still revealing stories and secrets today. Thank you, Johanna, for your amazing and informative presentation. The next presentation will be in the New Year so until then Happy Holidays to all.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This past Saturday, we had fun reading \u201cSo Much Snow\u201d, by Robert Munsch and \u201cWaiting For Snow\u201d by Marshall Diane Arnold. We then used cotton balls and paper snowflakes and glitter to create a snowy, winter scene! Thank you to Andrea for volunteering and thank you to everyone who joined us!<\/p>\n

Kids visit us every day to see what our Winter Elf is discovering at the library.<\/p>\n

Staff Pick of the week is \u201cThe Kingmaker\u2019s Daughter\u201d, by Philippa Gregory! (from Goodreads 4.30)<\/p>\n

The Kingmaker\u2019s Daughter \u2014Philippa Gregory\u2019s first sister story since The Other Boleyn Girl \u2014is the gripping tale of the daughters of the man known as the Kingmaker, Richard Neville, Earl of the most powerful magnate in fifteenth-century England. Without a son and heir, he uses his daughters, Anne and Isabel, as pawns in his political games, and they grow up to be influential players in their own right.<\/em><\/p>\n

At the court of Edward IV and his beautiful queen, Elizabeth Woodville, Anne grows from a delightful child to become ever more fearful and desperate when her father makes war on his former friends. Married at age fourteen, she is soon left widowed and fatherless, her mother in sanctuary and her sister married to the enemy. Anne manages her own escape by marrying Richard, Duke of Gloucester, but her choice will set her on a collision course with the overwhelming power of the royal family.<\/em><\/p>\n
