The gift of reading

The P.E.I. Public Library Service is partnering once again with the P.E.I. Literacy Alliance and local food banks for the third annual Gift of Reading Holiday Book Bank Program.

From Nov. 27 until Dec. 18, public libraries across P.E.I. will be collecting new and very gently used books for children and teens.

The books will be included in Christmas Food Hampers and distributed all across P.E.I. by local food banks. Give the gift of reading to an Island child this year.

Freshly brewed

The Friends of the Library have installed a new coffee machine on the main floor of the library. Make your next library visit a little more comfortable with a hot beverage. Coffee or tea can be purchased for $1.50 a cup. Library users can either use the provided cups or use their own reusable container after paying at the circulation desk on the main floor. As with the Friends of the Library Book Sale, all proceeds from the sale of coffee and tea will go to support library programs and initiatives. New members of the Friends of the Library committee are always welcome. If you are interested in joining the Friends of the Library please leave your contact information with staff at the main circulation desk.
