I Love Red Rock Punch Card Challenge

The Red Rock Public Library is introducing an ALL NEW spring challenge, open to all residents of Red Rock- all ages and abilities!

Stop by the library starting April 1 to pick up your I ❤️ Red Rock Punch Card!

This program is designed to encourage residents to go outside, get exercise, engage in the community, support local businesses, utilize the library, connect with friends and neighbours, and foster a sense of hometown pride!
Because we all know that Red Rock is the BEST place to live!

So here’s the fun part- enjoying Red Rock is how you fill your I ❤️ Red Rock punch card(s)!
And win PRIZES!

Here’s how it works:
1. When you pick up your first punch card, we will supply you with a list of suggestions on how you can collect punches
(Some examples: Walk your dog down to the marina, borrow a book from the library, etc)
2. Write down the actions you complete on your punch card
(You can come up with your own activities on how you’re appreciating your town, too!)
3. Return to the library for your punches whenever it is convenient for you- whether you have completed one activity or all six!

The more activities you complete between April 1 and May 29th, the more chances you have to win PRIZES!
Six activities completed = one full punch card!
One full punch card = one entry to win PRIZES!
You can fill as many punch cards as you want before the challenge ends May 29th!

And our prizes have been procured from amazing Red Rock businesses! Don’t miss out!

We are eternally grateful to our generous sponsors for this program, The Friends of The Red Rock Public Library and Tanners Lawn & Drive ❤️


Community Recipe Board

The Red Rock Public Library is starting a Community Recipe Board!

Whether it is a beloved family classic, a weeknight dinner with a twist, or a baking must-have, we want your best recipes!

If you would like to be a part, please submit a recipe to the library! You can bring your recipe in (we love it when you visit!) or feel free to email it to: rrocklib@gmail.com

Once collected, recipes will be printed and added to our Community Recipe Board (actually it’s more like a wall) at The Red Rock Public Library! Anyone will be able to stop by and browse through the collection, find inspiration for their next meal, and take home a copy of a recipe or two!

For now will be collecting recipes for a few weeks, and we will make an announcement when the Community Recipe Board is open for everyone to access and enjoy!

Think you’ve got what it takes to be a librarian?
The Red Rock Public Library wants to put you to work!
Apply to be a Little Librarian!

For kids ages 6-12

Visit The Red Rock Public Library today and fill out an application!

Once selected, you will come to the library and create your very own book display! You can create your display based on any theme you want (think things like: space, travel, nature, graphic novels, kindness… be creative!) using books from the library, props found in the library or brought from home*, and by adding crafts or artwork!
You will be interviewed about your display and interests, and your interview plus a photo with your display will be posted on our social media!

*For any display items brought from home please keep in mind the library is a public space and displays will not be continuously monitored- do not bring anything of value as the library holds no responsibility if something goes missing. Thank you!

Displays will be up in the library for approximately one month, then rotated to the next Little Librarian’s display. We aim to allow for ALL applicants to have a turn working as a Little Librarian!
