Happy Anniversay BSLN

The staff of the Bedford Library wish to extend our congratulations to the Bedford-Sackville Literacy Network on ten years of great service to the Bedford and Sackville communities. The Bedford Library is pleased to offer meeting space to the tutors and students of BSLN and our staff have enjoyed giving some BSLN students their very first library card.

Keep up the great work, BSLN!

Student Writing

My favourite thing to do is to be helpful to neighbours. I like to help them because it makes me feel good. I help my neighbours with their groceries. I like to help people whenever I can. Helping people is important because it shows that we care. By caring, we make the world a better place to live. by Steven Adams.

My favourite time of year is summer. I like it because it is warm and hot. I like to go biking and swimming in the summer. I like the summer because my daughter is out of school. by Elden
