Winnipeg Public Library has an interesting calculator on their site which gives the user a valuation of their library usage.

How much is a library worth to your family?

As published recently in the Boissevain Recorder – The Library will be relocating to the site of the current Co-op grocery store in 2013.

The Library Book rate is in danger yet again. Use the links that can be found here to contact government and let them know how badly we need the service!

Come and join us for cake and coffee from 2-4 pm on October 22 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Library!

Manitoba Public Library Services has released the statistics report for 2007. It can be viewed on the web at http://www.gov.mb.ca/chc/pls/publications.html
An interesting item in terms of Boissevain is that we have the 4th highest circulation per capita in the province. Not bad for a small library!

Thank you to the
Boissevain Kinsmen and Kinettes
for their donations of $590.89 each for a total of $1181.78 from Team Trivia 2008.
These funds will be directed towards the Library Building Project.

A Visioning Workshop regarding a new library facility was held at the MB Church on June 2nd.  The workshop was facilitated by Kris Doull of Regional Services, MB Culture, Heritage, Tourism and Sport and Denise Weir a consultant with Public Library Services.

A first concrete step towards building a new facility!

Boissevain and Morton Regional Library is looking to sell a Multi-view Display Rack. The rack has six display towers and is virtually identical to the Brodart 60 416 900 (which retails for $2085). Our unit is in excellent shape, and is being sold because a lack of floor space means that we have no use for it any longer. We are open to offers from interested parties (transportation would be the responsibility of the buyer). For more information or to express interest in the rack, please contact us.

The Boissevain Library has recieved goverment funding to purchase 2 new computers, along with a color laser printer and other computer related equipment. For more information read the press release here.

February is “I Love to Read” month and our pre-school storytime will be celebrating with celebrity readers from our community!
