Michael Finkel’s ‘True Story’ is indeed the true story of an escaped murderer who was able to evade authorities by posing as Finkel himself, causing a deadly game of cat and mouse.

Brett Wright re-imagines Romeo & Juliet as a pair of modern teens communicating solely by text messages in ‘YOLO Juliet.’

Ready to join the Summer Reading Club and have an awesome summer filled with tons of free events and great prizes?  Registration for the Summer Reading Club is currently in full swing, and ongoing throughout the summer.

Feeling too old for the Summer Reading Club? Nonsense! We also have a Teen Reading Club and an Adult Reading Club as well. Come on down, sign up, and start winning prizes!

Please note the Library will be closed this Thursday in the morning from 9 am to 12 noon.

Do you have an old wreck lying around? Would you like it towed for free? Contact us and we will arrange it for you and the proceeds will be donated to our Library Foundation, which will create new programming for our community. Please call 250-426-4063 for more information.

Our new website is up and running at: www.cranbrookpubliclibrary.ca

There is much more than this happening at the Library. Please check out our Facebook pages and our new website for more information and updates.
