Summer programming in La Ronge adapting to coronavirus concerns
Two free summer programs in La Ronge are going ahead, although there will be major changes due to coronavirus concerns.
For the first time, the TD Summer Reading Club hosted by the Alex Robertson Public Library is moving online. Every week for seven weeks programming packages will be sent home and Administrator Sean Stares noted daily videos will be uploaded to Facebook and YouTube.
“Supplies are going to cost a lot of money and we’re going to have to send all the crafting supplies to them,” he said. “They will get pencil crayons, scissors and glue. For videos where we will have games, they will actually get the game items. We’re doing a kickball challenge this week, so they’ll actually get a ball.”
The reading club began July 6 and will run until the end of August with a maximum of 15 children. The club is for children between the ages of five to 11 and those interested in registering should contact the library.
