Now that gardens are done and the weather has cooled, it’s easier to find time to curl up with a book and a cup of tea. Whether your preference is for adventure, biography, mystery or travel, we have a good selection at the Neepawa Library. 

This is also a good time to explore the many digital titles in Manitoba eLibraries and Hoopla. Children are especially interested in learning new ways to access the media they enjoy on tablets and other devices and both of these services have organized sections just for kids. In addition to ebooks and audiobooks, we can help you and your family access free movies, music and learning games, all with your library card.

Storytime continues to be popular with the preschool set – we recite rhymes, read stories, look for cool items in our I Spy table and do crafts every Friday at 11:00 am. No registration is required. It’s a great way for children to socialize as well as learn to listen and take part in activities with others their own age. 

Our Fall Book Sale will be held Tuesday, Oct. 18 and this will be a one-day sale of Adult books only. We have received numerous donations lately, so there’s something for every taste.

Finally, we’re very excited about our upcoming presentation by Craig Russell, of Brandon, on Thursday, Oct. 27. He’s reading from his second book, Fragment, which is expected to be as well-received as his first novel in 2010: Black Bottle Man. He’ll be bringing copies of his book, which has only been launched this month and may not be widely available yet.
