Carberry/North Cypress

Come in and check out the newest additions to the library! We have added a couch to make a cozy reading area in a corner of the library. We have also added a new love seat to the foyer. We just put our rotation books and new children's material on display as well, so it is a really great time to come and see what the library has to offer!

Neepawa Library will be wrapping up our winter travel series in March with a presentation from local travel-explorer, Ineke Mack. She and her husband traveled to the Netherlands in 2019 to walk the Pieterpad (Peter's Path). Here's another item to add and check off of your travel adventure bucket list and an excellent chance to learn more about the trail from someone who has walked it. The presentation will be on Thursday, March 12, at 5:30 pm in our meeting room.

Both presentations are at 2:00-3:00 pm in our meeting room; snacks and beverages will be provided as well.
