Library with books, puzzles, cassettes, and DVDs in different categories such as “Classics and Oldies,” “IMAX Collection,” “Romance,” “Educational,” “Non Fiction,” etc. Numerous books are in Large Print. Two stacks of DVDs of music (Nat King Cole, Elvis, Glen Miller, Doris Day… all the great ones!). If you like puzzles, there are over 15 to choose from, mostly 500 or 1000 pieces. Some audio books too. Taking out books and DVDs is by the honour system – no check out, just return when you are finished. Open whenever the Centre is open. Currently there is no need for more in the library, as all the room we have (including in storage) is full, so no more donations please! Hours: whenever the Centre is open.

A Free Tour is available monthly to get to know all the services available in the building. It is interesting to peek behind doors, learn the secrets, and see where the action is. Don’t forget… please… masks are recommended. Memberships can be purchased at the Centre’s Office between 10 and 1, but one is not necessary to be on the tour. Attendance is limited to 6, so please reserve as soon as you can. Looking forward to meeting you! Email Sherry to find out the times available . Take a virtual tour before you go.
