One card, endless possibilities! Timmins Public Library is celebrating Ontario Public Library Week (OPLW) from October 18-24, 2020. During this week, libraries across Ontario raise awareness of the valuable role of public libraries. For the final day of OPLW 2020 we’d like to hear from you! ... These are only a few reasons. We'd love to hear from you in the comments below! Some of the greatest minds in history live there. By simply wandering the stacks and taking a look around, you’re sure to be inspired. Checking out books is free. There’s absolutely no cost to bringing the most magical stories right into your home. And not only books: libraries also have audiobooks, CDs, magazines and movies that you can check out. All for FREE. Free Internet and Wi-Fi Access. For individuals without internet connections at school, work, or home, public libraries are the number one point of online access. That means that libraries help folks get connected and stay connected. WellBecauseReading! Reading whisks us away to new lands, teaches us about the world around us, drives us to ask hard questions and asks us to imagine What if? Without libraries, where would we be? So, go on: head to your local library today and show them some love. Do you have a library card yet? Contact us for details phone 705-360-2623 ext: 8519 or email [email protected]
