Bradford West Gwillimbury Public Library

The library is pleased to announce the addition of a new online resource for children…Sesame Street ebooks. These ebooks from Sesame Street Workshops provide you and your child with a wide range of bright, colourful and fun stories, some of which are enhanced with audio narration, sound effects and music. The collection also includes interactive and animated ebooks that bring your child’s reading and educational experience alive.

Access this collection from the Sesame Street page on our website using your library card number.

Our month long battle for teen/juvenile book supremacy has ended! 32 books entered the ring, and after five rounds of voting, one book was left standing. To the surprise of many, and the delight of more, the winner is Percy Jackson. Rick Riordan’s juvenile series beat out The Hunger Games for first place. Well fought, Percy!

Thanks to everyone who took part in the Book Sale last weekend! The sale raised over $2,700 to support Library programming. Hardworking volunteers from the Friends of the Library, those who donated books, and those who bought books, we are grateful to you all!

We’ll start accepting donations again in the early fall. Stay tuned!
