Truth & Reconciliation Day is coming up on September 30. This is a day to reflect on how residential schools affected generations, honouring the survivors and those who never came home. All of our branches have displays featuring recommended reads, we encourage you to stop in and take a look! We will be closed on Wednesday, September 30 and back to regular hours on Thursday.

Displays featured in this post are located in our Downtown Branch, Shoppers Mall Branch, Glenboro/South Cypress Library, and Neepawa Public Library.
