Cumberland Reads! 2026

Cumberland Reads! 2026

We invite you to come to either (or both!) of two sessions to rave about your favourite books, and share your love for them with other passionate readers. Whether it be an old memory from your childhood, or something new and amazing that recently crossed your path, we want to know which title - in any genre! - you recommend and hear why you loved it. You may choose up to three titles. This session will also include a mini-tutorial on how to follow other accounts on the library website, as this will be how you can access the list* of your suggested titles under our own branch account: Cumberland_OPLBPO We are excited to see your recommendations! ******************************************************************** This is a drop-in program, but if you choose to register you will receive a reminder email. * Please note that the published list will be limited to titles currently in the OPL collection. Cliquer ici pour vous inscrire pour notre session en français !
