new additions to our services!
ATTENTION

Ramara Public Library is pleased to announce a formal
reciprocal lending partnership with Rama Mnjikaning Public Library What
does this mean? All Ramara residents can obtain a FREE membership to
borrow material from the Rama Mnjikaning Public Library and all Rama
residents can obtain a FREE membership to borrow material from the
Ramara Public Library. Please note that the library cards are not
interchangeable. Each library uses its own library card.

side when entering the MASK Arena.
Laptop Internet Connectivity:
We are pleased to announce that we now have 2 stations available at
the Ramara Centre Branch for our patrons and visitors to bring laptops
into the library and connect to our high-speed Internet. Please ask
library staff to find out how you can get connected free today!
Employment Resource Services:
The Orillia Employment Resource Centre offers a self-help centre where
individuals can come to perform their job searches and receive confidential,
one-on-one employment and career planning assistance. Individuals who
live outside Orillia, and who may have transportation issues, will now
have the opportunity to receive the same type of assistance in their
job search. These services will be offered to residents of the Brechin
area at the Brechin branch every Wednesday from 10:00—1:00 p.m.
starting September 13th until June 2007.
This project is funded by the Government of Canada.
Library Pedometer Lending Program:
Pedometer Lending
@
your library®
Libraries are
offering “step-counting pedometer packs” for loan, the same way you
would borrow a book. The easy-to-use pedometer comes with
a personalized 10,000 Steps tracking booklet for the user to record
their progress over a 12-week period.
Pedometers
are a great tool to track your progress each time you walk and to set
goals to increase your physical activity. Working towards the goal of
10,000 steps per day is considered a guideline for the amount of adult
walking needed for a healthy, active lifestyle.
For more
information, please ask the library staff.
“We’d be
happy to help you!”
