Mitten Tree November - December
| Make, Donate, Take Our annual mitten tree at the Port Carling branch will be making its appearance this month. Knitters have been busy doing what they love... knitting! Not a knitter but would like to donate to the mitten tree? Purchased mittens, gloves, hats, and socks are welcome and needed, too!
Do you need something from the tree to keep you or someone you know toasty warm this winter? Feel free to take from the tree. At the end of the campaign, all remaining items will be donated to an appropriate charity. |

2nd Wednesday, Monthly
| 1:00 P.M - 2:30 P.M. Port Carling |

Join us on the second Wednesday of the month for thought-provoking conversation about the books of the month. Some of you only read fiction. Some prefer non-fiction so, most months, a pre-selected fiction title and a non-fiction title will be discussed. Not to worry if you aren't able to read both books. Come out anyway and hear about the thoughts and opinions about each of the books. You might just find a new favourite author or genre! New members are always welcome. Space is limited. A MLP Library card is required to participate. No registration required.

New to the Shelves |
You may have noticed that we have not received shipments of new items for quite some time. It is very unfortunate that our supplier, which we have used for decades, is no longer able to supply us with library items. It was a bit of a scramble but we have secured a new vendor and the orders have started to arrive! All items that are pictured, plus many more, are on our new shelves. There is a bit of a delay between the time we catalogue them and the time that they actually appear in our online catalogue, so don't despair if the links don't immediately work!
