On May 3 and 4, 2012 Trafalgar School for Girls held a book sale in support of the Atwater Library, raising over $350. The Library will use these funds for our Digital Literacy Project through which we partner with community groups and schools to get participants using creative digital technologies to express themselves and build their communities. Last year the Library worked with Trafalgar School on two Gender and Mass Media workshops and we’re looking forward to more collaboration this fall. A big THANK YOU to Trafalgar School for their support!

This picture, taken on May 3, 2012, shows the Library's magnificent oak door that was refurbished last year with funds raised by our "Building Communities" Campaign and matched by Parks Canada.  In the foreground is our beautiful magnolia tree that was planted by a former President of the Library, Andrea Rutherford Burgess, and her daughter Lynn Burgess, a former member of our board of directors.
