Whether your children will be experiencing their first visit to the doctor, maybe having difficulty making friends, or just have so many questions, the library offers books on a variety of subjects! In many cases these great books may ease their apprehension. They could also help you answer the numerous questions they may have about difficult circumstances we all encounter at one time or another!

Now that the hustle and bustle of the very busy holiday season is behind us, it is time to rest, relax, and curl up with a good book.
The New Liskeard branch of the Temiskaming Shores Public Library has an in-library program happening right now with the same name.

It’s the holiday season, stockings are being stuffed and bellies are getting filled; but there’s another thing that has reached capacity: your hard drive!!!
Every New Year, I like to clean up my digital spaces. It might seem like a daunting task with the amount of devices and avatars that we connect with, both at home and at work; but it is possible! I propose two solutions- we’ll start with the easiest.
A light scrubbing: This is the wimpiest way to clear up some space. It’s as simple as going...
