Forbes Hall Library

Each week there are scheduled times when a volunteer library attendant is on duty. 

We look forward to having you join us, we’re there to answer questions, talk about ideas, and generally there to help you out, if needed.  On Sundays we offer tea and goodies – a happy place to meet for a chat with fellow island bibliophiles.

Hours:

Saturday 10:00 am until 1:00 pm

Sunday 1:00 pm until 4:00 pm

Monday 10:00 am until 1:00 pm

The library is always open after 10:00 am when there is a Community Activity at the hall and the entry door is open.  We have a simple honour system for signing out books and DVDs, instructions are at the sign out desk.  If you need help, ask the attendant on duty.  For returns when the building is closed, please use the drop box by the Courtside Entrance.

We hope you enjoy our lovely little island library.

Celine,
your volunteer librarian

Looking for a Vacant Home that Needs to be Loved by a Little Family

Hello lovely Thetis folks - Jess the newbie here again!

I am eagerly on the hunt for permanent housing as the housing I had arranged has fallen through due to unforseen events out of my control.

The home I'm living in now was always meant to be temporary, so I'm in a time crunch to find a more permanent home. I'd require two to three bedrooms, ideally private and on some land for my two kiddos and dog to thrive. I'm a very responsible tenant and work remotely from home with a reliable income. My son is loving it at Thetis Elementary and I have found my heart is on Thetis, so I'd love to keep our family here if at all possible.

Perhaps your neighbor needs someone to caretake their home or you have a wee cabin in the back woods you don't use? I'm also happy to vacate a couple weeks a year in the summer if that is required for the owner. If you have something that may be coming available in the next two to three months and is available long term, I'd love to connect asap! I'd be forever grateful. My budget is flexible.

Please reach me at harbourcitycontent@gmail.com and thank you very much in advance!
