Did you Know?

Did you know that Petroglyph means rock drawings? Mi'kmaq are well known for their ancient rock carvings. In fact, Kejimkujik National Park is home to some of the oldest petroglyphs in the province. There are over 500 individual petroglyphs within Kejimkujik National Historic Site, making it one of the largest collections in Eastern North America. The images range from animals, peoples, hunting expeditions, families, matriarchs, leaders, clothing, the Mi'kmaw peaked cap and more. The site is scared and protected. These petroglyphs are not accessible to the public for their continued preservation.

Cole Harbour Library
There are so many awesome ghost crafts that we couldn’t pick just one! Join us to make three types and get your house Hallowe’en ready with garlands of ghosties! Can't make the program but want to make the project? We'll miss you, but you don't have to miss out! Contact me for a take home kit. Saturday, October 7 | 2:30-4:00pm All Ages!

Candy Apple Bar
Did you know that candy apples can be made any flavour and colour? Join us to figure out your favourite! We’ll make Hallowe’en decorations for the library (or to take home) while we wait for our candy apples to harden.
