Pinawa Public Library
Vanier Ave R0E 1L0 Pinawa, MB, Canada

We are trying something new at the library! Kanopy has over 30,000 films and adds 50 new movies and documentaries a week. It also has The Great Courses and kid’s content. We are going to try this out for 30 days beginning today, Monday, February 15, 2021 and will need your feedback if you like it we may sign up for the year. The way it works is you will sign in at pinawa.kanopy.com and log in to Pinawa (red label at the bottom left). You will be asked for your libr...ary card number which is your Patron ID (card number). Now you will need to create an account which is simply your name, email address and a password of your choice. After you are signed up you will only need your email address and password to access your account - you skip the initial "Library Card Number" and just head directly to the log in button on the top right of the screen. Once you are in you can start scrolling through all of the choices! During this trial period you will be able to watch 4 movies, and have full access for 30 days to one Great Courses, and the kid’s content. Once you press play on the movies they are unlocked for 72 hours. Please let us know what you think. Your feedback will determine whether or not the library signs up for this service. We will do our best to answer any questions you have we are learning this together so please be patient while we make sure to get the answers that you may need.

Librarian book review! This book came over our desk as a return, and as with many returns I flipped it open and took a quick browse of the cover. I read it in one day this book has the perfect amount of intrigue to keep the pages turning. It is about two women, Claire and Eva, who both feel trapped in their lives. Claire appears to have it all but what everyone doesn’t see is the abuse that she is facing at home. Eva is looking to escape the secrets of her past and c...urrent reality. A chance meeting in an airport bar brings them together and they make a last-minute decision to switch tickets Claire taking Eva's flight to Oakland, and Eva travelling to Puerto Rico as Claire. They both think that this will give them the head start they need to begin new lives but when the flight to Puerto Rico goes down, Claire realizes it's no longer a head start but a new life. Cut off, out of options, with the news of her death about to explode in the media, Claire will assume Eva's identity, and along with it, the secrets Eva fought so hard to keep hidden. See more

Our curbside pick-up and drop-off is going really well and we thank you for making this transition so seamless!

We will book appointments every 15 minutes during those times. Please also return your books during these allotted hours. See our website for full details and instructions.

Well it’s December! Does anyone else feel like it came up really fast this year despite all the changes to our lives? We are working hard over here at the PPL to get all of our new and new-to-us books catalogued so that you can start thinking about stacking up your reading pile for the holidays (and beyond). Don’t forget that if you want to browse the new books and DVDs added you can do so by going to our website under search our catalogue on the top right of the screen. This will take you to the newest 100 titles and the most recently viewed 100 titles (see what’s popular out there!).

Please bear with us. The Pinawa Trivia Quiz questions and answers have been posted on our website but there was a formatting issue that caused the numbering to be incorrect. We hope to have this fixed next week. Sorry for the inconvenience.
