LARGE PRINT BOOKS: Our new shipment from Ontario Library Service North has arrived for your enjoyment. We have the books for three months and then they are sent on to another library.   They are in the bookcase at the back of the room with the new arrivals.  There are all types of books, western, non- fiction, thriller, and romance. 

MCNAUGHTON BOOKS: These are best-seller authors and books that are leased from the company and ordered by staff. We keep them for about four years and then send them back.  

“NEW” TO US BOOKS:  These hard cover and paperback are on the brown table near the circulation desk. They are donations or purchased with funds from the Friends of the Library or the Library and are recently published.   

BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS:
Our LARGE PRINT BOOKS from Ontario Library Service are on the back bookcase along with the MCNAUGHTON LEASED books with some McNaughton on the filing cabinet.

The brown table has NEW TO US books. These books are chosen by the staff. Explore the library and check them out.  You may have noticed that some of the authors are “new to us” and I hope you enjoy reading them. We still order your favourite authors, so come in and check the shelves. If we do not have what you are looking for, we do have an Inter-Library Loan that you can access.
