May has been a busy book month at the Neepawa Library! On May 10, we were fortunate to welcome Angela Misri, author of the Portia Adams mystery series. Angela was touring Manitoba in conjunction with TD Canadian Children’s Book Week. Two classes of students from NACI came to the library to meet Angela and to hear how she finds inspiration to write her books. They kept her busy answering dozens of questions. She was very engaging and everyone enjoyed her visit.

The Libs are possibly going to make membership free and the Conservatives have been debating raising the annual fee to somewhere near the actual cost of processing the membership.
