Family Law

Getting married? Getting divorced? Getting confused?

Medicine Hat lawyer Cameron Kemp will be in the library on
Wednesday, April 2nd from 12:05pm - 1:05pm
to talk about Family Law.

Bring your questions about Family Law issues such as common-law status, marriage, adoption, and divorce, and come into the library with your lunch to listen to this informative talk!

Admission to this talk is FREE and drop-ins are welcome.

Childcare is available for this talk at the SPEC Offices, but you MUST pre-register by calling Laurie or Sadaf at SPEC: 501-5556.

This special lunchbox talk is cohosted by the SPEC Association for Children and Families and the Brooks Public Library.

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist

I've just learned that they are making a movie of Rachel Cohn and David Levithan's excellent teen novel, Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. The movie stars Michael Cera (from Juno) as Nick and Kat Dennings as Norah. It's coming in Fall 2008 and looks to be a pretty great flick.

For those that don't know, Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist was a Brooks Public Library Online Book Club pick for teen readers last year. You can check out our current Online Book Club picks over at the Book Club Blog.

LIBRARY CLOSURE

Please be advised that the Brooks Public Library will be CLOSED:

Friday, March 21st for the Good Friday statutory holiday

Thank you and enjoy the long weekend!
