Martensville Library Shares Busy Start to 2026 with AGM, Programs, and Family Literacy Activities

by Shanine Sealey

The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Martensville Library Board will take place on Wednesday, January 21, 2026, beginning at 6:30pm in the Library Program Room. Members of the public are invited to attend the meeting and learn more about the role the library plays in the community.

The Martensville Library Board is made up of community members appointed by the City of Martensville. The board plays a vital role in promoting the library, supporting programming and fundraising efforts, and helping guide the overall operations of the local library. Those interested in becoming a board member are encouraged to contact the library at 306-956-7311 for more information.

Later in the month, the library will also be celebrating Family Literacy Day on January 27, with this year’s theme, “Make Mealtime Family Learning Time!” Families are encouraged to bring learning into the kitchen or around the dinner table by following recipes together, sharing stories, and enjoying meals as a family. To support the initiative, families can pick up a Family Literacy Spice Kit at their local Wheatland library, featuring ground cayenne and ground coriander, and try out new recipes at home.

Creative programming is also underway at the Martensville Library, with registration now open for the first Community Art Night of 2026. The watercolor painting session will take place on Thursday, January 22, from 6:30 to 8:00pm. This free, registered program is open to adults and teens aged 13 and older. Space is limited, and interested participants are asked to register by calling the library at 306-956-7311.

In addition, registration is open for the library’s popular Crafty Kids program. This free program is designed for children aged eight and older, with participants welcome to register for one or all sessions. Upcoming Crafty Kids dates include:

• Monday, January 26 (4:00–5:00pm) – Fork Painting Polar Bear & Heart Dot Art
