Special Programs

The Library offers many special programs including author talks, travelogues, computer workshops, summer reading programs, and events that support Ontario Public Library week.

Visiting Library Service

If you are housebound and miss visiting the library, you might be interested in this service. Screened volunteers will choose materials for you, deliver them to you and return them to the library on your behalf.

If you would like to bring joy to someone by spending several hours a month choosing and delivering reading materials to them in their own home, please call Ruth at the library 705-645-4171. You could make someone very happy.

One-on-One Internet Training

Training is free and offered on a one-to-one basis. Instruction is based on the need of the individual and can include basic Internet searching, email, social media, using Microsoft Word, editing photos, assistance with a new device, etc. Workshops are also offered. Internet Training available in the Spring and Fall.

The Muskoka Writing Circle

The Muskoka Writing Circle is a vibrant and supportive group of amateur and professional writers that meets monthly. The purpose of the group is to encourage both new and more seasoned writers to achieve their writing goals through positive critiquing.

The Circle meets on the 3rd Saturday of every month from 9:00 am to 11:30 am. We are sorry to announce that due to the lack of appropriate program space in our library, the Writing Circle will no longer be able to hold their monthly meetings at the Library. However, the group will meet at the Centre for Active Living. For more information please contact Ian at livseyi @aol.com We do look forward to hosting special readings from the Writing Circle, so be sure to check our website for those events.
