Neepawa Public Library

We are approaching the time of year when it’s important to get together and renew our personal connections – whether it’s by sharing a meal or a music concert together with friends or coworkers or by the annual sharing of the reading of A Christmas Carol. There’s also a feeling of generosity in the air as we all consider what we can do to make someone else’s holidays a little more festive.

For our part, at the  Neepawa Public Library, we are collecting hats, mitts and scarves on our Christmas Cheer Tree to be donated to the Christmas Hampers organized by the Salvation Army. Our tree is already looking very festive and we thank everyone who has made donations so far, but there’s always room for more! Wrapping is not required, just drop items off at the library or come in and hang them on our tree yourself. 

On Dec. 1, at 5:30 p.m., we are very excited to host Manitoba author Karen Emilson. Many know her from her first two books, Where the Children Run and Where Memories Remain. Karen is currently promoting her first book of fiction, Be Still the Water and will also speak about her two previous books and will provide an update on the people involved. We’re looking forward to a very interesting visit from this popular local author.

Finally, there’s still time to register your junior crafter for our Christmas Crafter day on Friday, Dec. 2. We’re taking registrations for preschool age children and their caregivers at 10:30 a.m. and ages 6 to 10 and their caregivers at 2:30 p.m.. Each session will be for about an hour and there will be a simple craft, snacks and a story. Please call 204 476-5648 to register.

it’s the only time I can legitimately indulge in
