Harry Potter Scavenger Hunt

Hi everyone!

This year for Halloween we have prepared a huge party for you! 

Come to the library on Friday October 30th at 6:30 p.m. for an epic Harry Potter scavenger hunt. You will have to face challenges and to solve riddles to defeat Voldemort.

Tell your parents and all your friends. This is an event you cannot miss.

Goodbye butterflies!

Last Monday, we set the last monarch free. We are proud to have participated in the Monarchs Without Borders program. We were lucky to see nine caterpillars become beautiful and healthy monarchs. Let's wish them the best of luck in their migration to Mexico. 

We would like to thank everyone who came to the library to observe the butterflies.

Chrysalis

5 of our 7 caterpillars have formed their chrysalis during the weekend. Another one is in "J" position, ready to join its friends any minute now. 

In about two weeks, we should have beautiful monarchs in the library. Come see them! We will be happy to answer any of your questions.

Our reading champion!

Congratulations to our summer reading club pre-reader Reading Champion Ariana Izadi! Here she is in front of her house, next to the lawn sign she won by reading the most books this summer.

Keep it up, Ariana!

Our first monarch!

Hi everybody,

A monarch hatched this morning! We will set it free this afternoon at 4:00 pm. Don't miss it!

The caterpillars are growing up!

Hi everybody,

The caterpillars are growing up very quickly. Come to the library to see them before they make their cocoons. We also have two chrysalis in very good shape. Theoretically, they should hatch before next week. Do not miss the monarchs flight. 

We will regularly update their evolution on the blog.

Have a nice observation!

Come see our butterflies!

From September 2 to 23, as part of the Montreal Insectarium's Monarchs Without Borders program, we will be raising monarch butterflies in a butterfly tent in the Young People's Department.

Come see the caterpillars evolve into butterflies and set them free. We will need your help to label the butterflies so that scientists can study their migration. Come to the library often if you want to witness this fabulous adventure!

Have a good return to school!
