Wawa Public Library Marking It Red for Dyslexia

The Wawa Public Library will be "marking it red" for dyslexia this week.

While the library's been celebrating Canada Library Month and Ontario Public Library Week, CEO and Head Librarian Sue Jarrell notes October's Dyslexia Month.

Jarrell encourages people to come in, see, and ask questions about the collection, with a special social to be held Friday afternoon, from 1 pm to 3 pm.

The library's wrapping up the current Ontario Public Library Week with an "Afternoon of Music with Isabella and Doris" on Saturday, while several month-long initiatives continue: the "Food For Fines" campaign accepting non-perishable food items for the Wawa Food Bank in exchange for a coupon covering library fines; a draw for those who come in and show their library card - or get one - and putting proceeds from used book and DVD sales toward the Alzheimer's Society.
