The library is a wonderful place to find new books, but there’s more going on than just flipping through pages.

Here’s the top five things to do at the Medicine Hat Public Library for April 2024.

Easter Break Movies

April 1-7, 2 p.m.

Join us in the library theatre each day during the school break for a family friendly movie. Rise of the Guardians (April 1), Migration (April 2), Toopy and Binoo The Movie (April 3), Wish (April 4), Wonka (April 5) and The Marvels (April 6). The week ends with Toy Story (April 7) during our usual Sunday Family Day and we’ll show the rest of the Toy Story movies on Sundays until the end of the month.
