The library participates in an ongoing book rotation program with several other public libraries in Southwestern Manitoba. This provides our patrons with access to large blocks of new books every six months.

If the library doesn't have the book you want in it's collection, the library can easily, and usually at no cost to you, borrow books from other libraries on your behalf through Interlibrary Loan (ILL).
