Go Borrow a book for the weekend read!
The Oliver Library is OPEN for business.
The contractor is making the library as accessible as possible.
It might be a little challenging at times but we are still open.
Patrons may need to park on Main St.
and walk down the hill behind the Interior Savings.
The parking lot is still accessible coming from that end.
Contact number is 250-498-2242
Last week Sage got a set of shoes and set off to sell her glider. In this week’s chapter, she meets the man who wants to buy it, and makes a deal with him.

Please respect her job. Kim is the one that stops you from running into each other as the work continues on Station and Fairview Roads.
Kim has lived here all her life, loves the scenery and wants to thank all the nice people that are patient. We know you are in a hurry and that this is inconvenient and we do want to get the job finished as well.
Next time you see Kim and she has stopped traffic, say hi!
Just another fabulous Working Woman in Oliver.
Thank you Kim!
Some mornings a second cup of coffee just barely gets me started.
However I just about stepped on a snake on the front step first thing in the A M. That gets the adrenaline pumping. Apparently, this Blue Racers has taken up residence under my steps.
This wild life encounter was followed by a wasps nest under the hose caddy. I like the composition of it but it too has to go!
About an hour later I decided to check on the irrigation and found I have a designer rat in the crawl space. Some irresponsible person had a pet rat, it got too big, they let it go at the river and it has decided to move in as well. apparently this happens a lot! I am waiting for the exterminator as I type.
To end this day perfectly, just after 8, I watched this little bandit ransack my cherry tree. just one of the many reasons, this city girl lives here!
Needless to say The Wee Shaolin is grounded in the house for the rest of her life. The snake is in one of her fav sun spots . . oh good! Really don’t want her to bring it into the house! And an encounter with a racoon, not a good idea.
I wonder what brought all these guest to the yard? one thing for sure is it must be a health pesticide free zone.
The gallery has been closed a week now and that is wonderful. The garage sale was a whopping failure! I thought for sure I would make enough to fund my retirement.
Looking forward to a great week!
The students at Tuc-el-nuit Elementary have been helping me paint a mural of books at the entrance to the Pat McGibbon Memorial Library.
In the Okanagan language the word for library is sn’aunten (the “e” is upside down in the proper spelling, however I can’t do that in this program.)
I have enjoyed painting in the hall and chatting with the young ones. Learned a new mathematical word, forgot it already! Something about putting polygons together with no spaces! A world I use in conversation all the time!
However the thing I like the most is watching them interact with each other. This generation of young people accept the abilities of others with patience and understanding and enjoys each others cultures with wonder and curiosity.
Our future will be in good hands!
My fav colours!
Adds a nice hit of colour to Main Street! Congratulations to the new owners, Lyle Miller and Kandise Ife!
