St. Anne’s Library/Resource Centre

Our library is a resource that is beyond books. In addition to fiction and non-fiction books that are suitable for all ages there are DVDs, royalty magazines, diocesan newspapers from across Canada (donated by Bishop Nigel) and a few CDs.

Here are the various suggestions but there are always more choices in the library. Library hours are Sundays after 9:15 am. worship service and Mondays 10:30 am. to 12:00 noon. You can also contact Louise K. at 519-474-3226.
