The North Battleford Public Library invites the public to stop by and help celebrate its 100th anniversary for the week of Oct. 16-22, which coincides with the annual Saskatchewan Library Week.
"Every year, usually around this time in October, there's a week where every library will participate, and often it's smaller scale, but basically it's a week to celebrate libraries," Head Librarian Amanda Foster says of the upcoming week scheduled with a mix of special events and old standbys like afternoon movie screenings.
"We'll be having events every day, but Saturday is our big open house, so that's when we'll be having cake, the Meota Hobby Band (will play). We'll have things for kids like balloon animals, face painting (and) retro story time," says Foster.
There will also be a scavenger hunt and other activities for the family, according to the library's events page.
Retro story time begins at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 22 and will be led by retired North Battleford Public Library librarian, Joan Bunce, and will harken back to the style Bunce used for reading stories to children at the library before she retired in the 1990s, Foster says.
"We'll have different things all week, so some of them will be things we'll be doing again and some we are doing for the first time. We'll be doing a couple events with a green screen, so that should be fun."
A green screen photo booth will be set up for revellers at the open house on Saturday throughout the event which runs from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
