The Library acknowledges the First Peoples on whose traditional territories we live and work.  We believe that acknowledging territory shows recognition of and respect for Indigenous Peoples, both in the past and the present. We believe that recognition and respect are essential elements of establishing healthy, reciprocal relations and are key to reconciliation

Fundraisers

Adopt a book fundraiser. The Gore Bay Union Public Library is looking for generous community members to help support the library, one of the ways to do this is to sponsor a new book in the library. Contact Johanna for more information.

We also have some beautiful Manitoulin Ornaments, Manitoulin decals and very nice bookmarks for sale.

BOOK DONATIONS

At the library we gratefully accept book donations, we ask that these be in good condition, and not musty or moldy. Musty/moldy books have to be discarded as they can not be sold and certainly can’t be put into the collection
