Remember our Earth Day 🌎 Marker Drive? Well the numbers are in!
We successfully diverted over 600 old writing implements from the landfill. They are now on their way to being recycled into playground material. ❤️

Hello neighbours!

We are hoping you can help us restock the Community Pantry in the Almonte Public Library. Over the last weeks we have seen a significant increase in people using the Pantry to top up their weekly groceries. That's what it's there for, but we now need more donations to keep up with demand.

All shelf stable items are welcome, however NO GLASS containers and no homemade goodies.

Please drop off what you are able to share in the donation bins in the Pantry cupboard at the Library.

Many thanks to our generous community and of course the amazing Library staff!
