Please consider making a charitable donation to your local library! Libraries strengthen communities, inspire life-long learners and engage readers.
Your donation to the Western Manitoba Regional Library (WMRL), either as a whole or to a particular branch, is an excellent way to enhance and enrich the services that the WMRL provides to its communities. Your donation will help the WMRL continue to provide a comprehensive collection of books, facilitate programs for the community, maintain a welcoming and accessible space, give access to computers and provide reference services.
Our current priority is to secure funds for updates to our furniture and shelving.
You can make a general donation, or identify in what area or at what branch you would like your gift to be spent.
The WMRL is a registered charity. Receipts are issued for monetary donations of $20.00 or more.

Join other writers at the Brandon Public Library to hone your creative writing skills. Weeks alternate between writing and reading, so you get plenty of writing done as well as feedback. Participants can write anything they wish (short stories, poems, memoirs, articles, etc.) or follow a new prompt for each round. This is the program for you if you’d like to write and might benefit from the solidarity of peers. All skill levels are welcome. There’s no cost to attend. To sign up, call the library at 204-727-6648, send an email to programs@wmrl.ca, or visit the library in person.
