In Memory - Steven Duff was a local writer, musician, artist, educator, and avid sailor. We had the pleasure of having him speak at the Library many times for Author Reads and Travelogue presentations. You can find these titles written by Steven Duff at Parry Sound Public Library.

A special thank you to everyone who donated Christmas cards to us!

With these donations we were able to spread Holiday cheer to 404 seniors in Parry Sound's long-term care facilities.
