Contest Announcement

Fall in Essex County is so beautiful! The leaves are changing colours, pumpkins and chrysanthemums decorate porches and front yards and there is a nip in the air. To celebrate we’re running a Fall Bucket List Giveaway.

Do one or more of the activities on our bucket list, take a photo and send it to us at: socialmedia@essexcountylibrary.ca and you’ll receive an online ballot to fill out. We’ll draw 10 winners who will each receive one $30 gift certificate to a local business. Doesn’t need to be professional, just have fun! Contest closes Saturday, October 17 at midnight.

Fall Programs and Events

At this time, we are still unable to provide programming in person. We’ll be having fun with recorded programs as we did in the summer along with a few live events! You can find currently scheduled programs on our events calendar. Highlights include:

DIY Dryer Vent Pumpkins

Exploring Local History

Spooky Science

Tales of Terror Told in the Dark!

These will be presented on Facebook and YouTube.

Fun and Games

Are you a fan of trivia? Like a timed challenge on a variety of topics? Then you’ll love our Tuesday Night Trivia! Every Tuesday from 6 pm to 12 am play our game then check back the next day to find out where you placed.

Lunchtime Puzzlers is a popular new game just launched a few weeks ago. Every Thursday, we share a different timed online jigsaw puzzle. A great activity to break up your day and test those brain cells.

Next Week: They’re here: native seed plants ready for planting now!

Manuela Denes was born and raised in Windsor. She graduated from the University of Windsor with a BA in English Literature. Strangely enough, she went on to work at Chrysler Canada for twelve years.

Halfway through her stint there, she decided to fulfil a dream and started to work on her MLIS. After four years she received her degree from Wayne State University and to add to her resume received a  BEd from the University of Windsor.

Manuela moved to Tokyo, Japan for two years where she implemented a library program for the Canadian International School.

A year later upon her return to Canada, she was hired as a Resource Assistant with the Essex County Library working first at the Toldo branch in Lakeshore. Then she was off to Amherstburg as a Community Supervisor. Her most recent position with ECL is Manager, Community Services. 

When she saw that the Kingsville Times was online, she sent a message on Instagram asking about doing a weekly news article about what’s happening at the library.

Thank you Mary Ellen Havlik and Jody Smith for giving us a space to brag about the library and share news with our amazing Kingsville, Cottam and Ruthven supporters!
