It’s the end of another long winter and at Neepawa Library, we’re glad to see people popping in to look at gardening books and home improvement magazines. We haven’t seen many April showers, but surely the May flowers will be showing themselves soon!

Now that the nicer weather is here and it’s easier to get around, mark your calendar with the following dates for upcoming free events at the Neepawa Library:

Wednesday, April 19 is National Canadian Film Day 150 and we’re celebrating by showing the film Room at 1:30 pm. Based on the book written by Emma Donoghue, Room is a moving story of a mother’s love for her son, who only knows the world as the room they have lived in for his entire life and believes that everything on television is make-believe. It’s free and we’ll have popcorn and draws, too!

Thursday, April 20 is the rescheduled presentation by Craig Russell, who is coming from Brandon to talk about his latest novel, Fragment. He recently received this note from Bob McDonald of CBC’s Quirks and Quarks: “Thank you for sending me a copy of Fragment, I really enjoyed it. In fact, I burned through it during a flight to Toronto and back. Good luck with the book, it’s a great read.” Craig’s presentation starts at 5:30 pm. 

Storytime continues for pre-schoolers at 11:00 on April 21. We read stories, do rhymes and crafts.

Also, please note that the library will be closed for Easter Friday on April 14 and Easter Monday on April 17, reopening on Tuesday, April 18. Now’s the time to stock up on your long weekend reading material!
