The Yorkton Public Library, while remaining open, is also offering a range of online programming at present.

Coralee Danyluk, Children's Programmer at the library said they have some special online activities planned for youth on their winter break from school.

From Feb. 16 to 19, the library will be posting a video each day at 9 a.m. on both its Facebook and YouTube social media platforms, said Danyluk.

The videos will be short, around 15-minutes in length, with Danyluk showing various activities or science experiments that youth can then collect things around their homes to do at home. She noted the activities are not age-specific, adding parents are encouraged to help younger children take on the challenge.

The daily videos will also include Danyluk reading a book, which she said will be for the younger children.

The school break programming is not the only opportunity to hear Danyluk read. Each week she does an online story-time, where she posts a video Thursday of her reading a children's book.

Of course not all library programming is for children.

Feb. 1, they launched Cozy Up and Colour, a colouring showcase geared toward adults.

The program is 小蓝视频 offered in partnership with the City of Yorkton and the Yorkton Business Improvement District, said Danyluk.

Through the program people can pick up colouring kits at the library, pencil crayons, a sharpener and markers, (which are to be returned), and a half dozen colouring pages.

Danyluk said people take the package home -- they have 30 to distribute initially -- and have fun colouring.

Those participating are 小蓝视频 asked to lend their best effort to the library, with selected pieces then 小蓝视频 displayed in local businesses, said Danyluk.

Plans are to have a Scavenger Hunt where people have to 'find' where different colouring pieces are on display.

The colouring kits are available until March 1.

For those wanting to expand their vocabulary a little, the library also offers 'Wordy Wednesday', said Danyluk. Each week a rarely used English word is posted to Facebook, with a definition attached, and people are asked to respond with a sentence that uses the word correctly.

And, Danyluk said there will be some special activities announced soon relating to Valentine's Day.

The library is open 10 to 6 Monday to Friday and 1 to 5 Saturday.
