Pink Hair to Show Our Support!

Just a friendly reminder about our fundraiser tomorrow! Show your support to our families fighting breast cancer by dying a strip of your hair pink. Come to the library between 10am and 12pm and stylist Lisa Taylor will brighten up a lock of your hair for a donation of your choice. All money raised will be used to help local families with transportation to and from their treatments.

Visit from Mayor Robert Young

Last Friday, our very own Mayor Young came to the library and worked our circulation desk. He was amazing! He checked out books, answered questions about book series and solved problems on ipads. Thank you very much, it was great having you here!

It's Ontario Public Library Week and we are celebrating! Come and join us Friday morning at 10:30 am when Mayor Bob Young will be our circulation clerk. He'll be running the desk and answering your questions. Be sure to drop by and say hi!

Ontario Public Llibrary Weekl

The theme for Ontario Public Library Week 2012 is:  Libraries Connect


An annual fall event, Ontario Public Library Week was first announced by the province in 1985 and has since become the focus for promoting public library services in Ontario.

A strong library system is the cornerstone of a strong community. Ontario Public Library Week recognizes the important contribution Ontario's public libraries make to education, literacy and life-long learning in Ontario communities. With more than 1,085 service points throughout Ontario, public libraries' patrons make over 72 million visits to local libraries across Ontario annually. And now virtually every library branch in the province also provides access to electronic information through the Internet.

Public libraries, dedicated librarians and devoted volunteers across the province are planning special activities to mark Ontario Public Library Week.

Here at the Dwight Public Library, we are thrilled to unveil our BRAND NEW WEBSITE next week. Check it out at www.lakeofbayslibrary.ca Come in for a guided tour and discover all the resources available to you. Download e-books, find a new career, research your ancestry, get homework help and so much more!
