Jake Epp Public Library

Bring your kids to Story Corner, a drop in story time open to all ages on the first and third Fridays of every month!

Join us for a visual presentation of Abandoned Manitoba by Manitoban author Gord Goldsborough.

Refreshments will be served and books will be available for sale.

Book Synopsis: Travel with Gordon Goldsborough from Rapid City School to Mallard Lodge to Union Stockyards and many places in between as the author helps us reclaim some of our long-lost heritage. This full colour, richly illustrated book looks at abandoned sites around Manitoba, describing their features, what caused them to be abandoned, and what they tell us about the history of the province.

Need to relax and have some you time? Give adult colouring a try. The event runs the the second Friday of every month from 1-3 and the second Wednesday of every month from 6:30-9:00. come and go as it suits you. We’ll provide basic supplies (including tea and coffee.)

Come watch a classic movie at the library! Every fourth Friday of the month is movie night, and we alternate between showing a family movie one month and a classic movie the next. Most months, movies begin at 6:30 pm, free admission and popcorn are included. Children 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult. Event takes place in our multipurpose room.

For January, we will be watching Arsenic & Old Lace <rated PG>
