Book lovers will find lots of great resources at the Moose Jaw Public Library (MJPL).
The library offers a large collection of books, eBooks, magazines, and reference materials, along with graphic novels, DVDs, CDs, and even video games. If the library doesn’t have an item you are interested in, you can still borrow it, thanks to the province-wide library system.
Of course, digital resources are very popular, and MJPL has you covered. You can download books, music, and movies through the Hoopla app. All you need is your library card. There is a limit on how many items you can borrow each month. Looking for more content? The library offers Kanopy, a streaming service that provides access to even more films and documentaries.
Anyone looking to learn a new skill should try LinkedIn Learning — formerly known as Lynda.com — a service that offers courses in design, photography, business, technology, and more.
Don’t want to stop into the library to grab you items? You can always use the curbside pickup option. Simply request your items online or by contacting the library directly and then pick them up when they are ready.
Meanwhile, the library also offers computer access to those who need it and you can even access Ancestry.com to research your family tree.
The library’s archives contain a treasure trove of old newspaper articles, Henderson Directories, photos, and other resources that highlight Moose Jaw and area’s colourful past.
Throughout the year, the library offers programs for kids, teens, and adults. There is always something to do! Want to start a book club? The library offers book club kits that will help you get started.
The best part is this all offered free of charge! All you need is a library card. To get started, stop by the library, located in Crescent Park, or visit https://www.moosejawlibrary.ca/ for more information.
