On March 29, dozens of youngsters turned out to the Quyon library to hunt for some multicoloured treats.
The overcast sky and slight drizzle did nothing to quell the children’s excitement, and as soon as the back doors of the building were opened they scattered across the lawn with their parents in tow, looking for the eggs bearing numbers that matched those on their paper bags.
Librarian Suzanne Lyndon explained that this is the third year the event has been held, and said it’s usually a big hit. She put together this year’s festivities along with her colleague Glenda Nitche, aimed at those 12 years of age and younger.
“We want the children to treat the library as a safe place to come to, to have fun,” Lyndon said. “We try to think up enjoyable things.”
Both were out giving the tykes a hand at pursuing their quarries.
The eggs contain various items like erasers and such, but there was also a chance to win a gift basket full of various school items.
The next event on the library’s schedule is the first annual Pontiac Spelling Bee, on April 14 and 15, (in English and French respectively). To register a child between grades one and six, phone the Quyon library, at 819-458-1227, or email biblioquyon@gmail.com
