Q+A with Em The Librarian
She’s the new girl in town, and only the third Library Director that Pemberton has had, following in the foot-steps of library founder Jan Naylor and her successor Shannon Didier Ellis. Given that the Library is, in many ways (my bookish biases might be coming into play here, but I’m happy to debate the case) … Continue reading
Social Media Sessions at the Library: Q+A with Lisa Richardson
It’s always dangerous when Shannon Ellis and I get together – we’re 2 idea-dervishes with solid over-commitment issues and are easily spun into each other’s brainstorming vortices, only to find ourselves in a Kansas of busy-ness. So it’s probably a good thing that we only manage to sit down for lunch twice a year. Last … Continue reading
Miss Representation screens at Pemby Library, April 26
You can’t be what you can’t see. Write your stories, girls. And cast them with smart, feisty asskicking heroines. Just like you. Pemberton Library hosts a free screening of the film ‘Miss Representation‘ on Thursday, April 26 at 7pm, with conversation afterwards facilitated by Mo Douglas. When Miss Representation came to Squamish in February, I … Continue reading

Tree-planting … Continue reading
Warm Up at Winterfest this Weekend
We’re in the middle of winter, in the middle of the mountains. Unless you’re headed to Mexico sometime soon, you might as well celebrate. Pemberton Winterfest makes that easy… with 12 events planned for the four day cold-stretch of 19 – 22 January, it’s a chance to warm up to winter with activities that are … Continue reading
Monthly Film Club gets into gear at the Pemberton Library
Pemberton has some great gathering places and hangout spots (the Skate Park on a sunny day comes to mind) but when the mercury plummets, the snowbanks build and dark arrives promptly each afternoon around 4pm, one of the coziest places to hang is the Pemberton and District Library. And now, thanks to an initiative of … Continue reading
Make Art and Trade it at MADE with the Pemberton Library’s Artist Trading Card Project
It’s hard to find a good use for a business card in Pemberton… Sure, you can tack a few to the noticeboard at the Mt Currie Coffee Co, but off-line “networking” in Pemberton is more likely to happen at drop-in kids’ gym or after a yoga class, at the Legion or Beer and Burger night, … Continue reading
