The theme for this year's TD Summer Reading Club (TDSRC) has been announced. Prepare to go on an adventure! The theme for 2025 is Around the World. TDSRC is Canada’s largest bilingual summer reading program for kids of all ages, interests, and abilities. It celebrates Canadian authors, illustrators, and stories that inspire kids to explore the fun of reading.
Beginning in July, kids can track their reading on Beanstack to earn badges and the chance to win cool prizes. We're encouraging children to visit our locations once a week to share what they've been reading and collect beads for a reading necklace!
TDSRC registration begins June 17. Reporting begins July 2 and runs until August 20.

01:00pm - 03:00pmA classic story of friendship, family–and hair.
Women are as delicate as magnolias but as tough as steel. This classic play tells the story of Truvy’s in-home beauty parlor and the women who frequent it. As the women confront their own unique challenges, they rely on their friendship to get them through some of the hardships of life: health, family, religion, and relationships.
“35 years later, it can still deliver all the laughs and tears woven into it.” – Calgary Herald
