This Spring, Oshawa Teens grades 7 to 12 are invited to share their works of visual art and writing with the community by submitting a single work to the library for entry in the Express Yourself Teen Art and Writing Contest. Read the guidelines for submission in the contest brochure then fill out the entry form to participate. We look forward to seeing your artwork and sharing your best with the community.

The Battle of the Bands will be returning to Oshawa Public Libraries this coming spring. Groups are invited to compete to be declared victor in one of three categories. Images from and winners for last year's battle can be found here. Read the brochure and rules for this year's battle, then fill out and submit a registration form by February 26, 2010. We hope to see you there. The Library gratefully acknowledges the support of the Friends of the Library, Wellcraft Music Studios, and Long & McQuade Musical Instruments.

Please join the library for this extra special story time series, now available on YouTube! Our Oshawa Generals, along with local heroes and celebrities will be reading a selection of wonderful stories just for you. And now, even if you can't join us in person, you can tune in on the web. Refreshments will be served, along with great prizes to be won. Storytimes will begin at 10am, running through February 2010. Family programme - all ages welcome.
