Friends of the Library
 
So far our Winter 2026 has certainly lived up to its name. 'Old Man Winter' has brought lots of snow, cold temperatures and windy weather.
 
Are you looking to find a little warmth? The Friends of the Ramara Public Library is sponsoring several programs at the library to help you get out of the house and find some warm and friendly folks with whom to spend some time. Be sure to watch for a program that fills your interest. And don't forget our warm and welcoming FORPL committee members who will be meeting soon to come up with some exciting fundraising ideas for the upcoming year.
 
Want to be a part of this great group? Please contact Anne at a.belanger@rogers.com or pick up a brochure at the circulation desk in the library to find out all about what the Friends do.
 
Let's show 'Old Man Winter' we won't be restrained by his tactics and get out to enjoy our library programs.

If you’re looking for a quiet, low-maintenance cat who values her independence, Cayenne might be the perfect match for you.
