Wyoming, ON – Lambton County Library invites residents to take part in the largest film festival in the world, by watching a great Canadian film on April 19, 2017 as part of Reel Canada's National Canadian Film Day 150 - a Canada 150 Signature Project.  

Wyoming, ON – Lambton County Library will be holding its spring Used Book Fair at Library Headquarters on Saturday, April 22, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.   A wide selection of genres is available to choose from including picture books, crafts, cooking, travel, health, autobiographies as well as fiction and non-fiction for all ages.  A donation of 50 cents per children's book and $1.00 per adult book is suggested.  Or bring a bag and fill it up for a suggested price of $5.00.

 Books at the fair are recent discards from the collections of Lambton County Library's 26 branches.  In order to keep the library's collection current with popular materials, discarding takes place to remove damaged, outdated and non-circulating materials.  The fair also includes donated books which don't meet the needs of the collection, but are often in excellent and new condition.

 Proceeds from the book fair are used to enhance the library system.  For more information, please call 519-845-3324.   Library Headquarters is located on 787 Broadway St., Wyoming, behind the County of Lambton Administration Building.

Library Headquarters provides the behind-the scenes services to Lambton County's 26 branch libraries.  This includes book selection and ordering, cataloguing, inter-library loans, interbranch requests, exchanges of materials from one branch to another, courier services, service to long-term care homes as well as automated systems maintenance.

Wyoming, ON – Polish-Canadian author Eva Stachniak will be at the Sarnia Library West Room on Sunday, March 26, 2017 from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. The award-winning English writing author will be discussing her latest book, "The Chosen Maiden", as well as her additional four books.

"There is a substantial Polish community in Sarnia who this author will appeal to as well as those who just enjoy her work," says Krystyna Stalmach, Technical Services Supervisor at Lambton County Library.  "Her presentation at the Sarnia Library will be in English."

Stachniak will also be at the Queen of Peace Church in Sarnia from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m. where she will be presenting in Polish.   

Stachniak moved to Canada in 1981 and has worked for Radio Canada International and taught English and humanities at Sheridan College.  She holds a PhD in literature from McGill University.  Her novels "Necessary Lies" and "The Winter Place" have won various awards.
