Red Rock Public Library

Reading Club Meeting - March
2026-04-15 19:00 - 20:00 (America/Toronto) | Red Rock Public Library
It’s almost time for the next meeting of The Red Rock Public Library’s Reading Club!
We will be holding our meeting
Wednesday April 15th from 7-8pm
Come and join us at the library and discuss over light refreshments what everyone read, and hear about titles you might want to try! Even if you didn’t finish your book you can still come to the meeting and join in the discussion! If you didn’t sign up for the club yet but did read a title that falls within our March theme, come on out!
Everyone is welcome!
Our theme:
“Constellations of Connection”
Exploring the invisible threads that connect us across time, space and circumstances.
Stories that invite us to look at the way lives can intersect through coincidence, fate and unexpected bonds. It’s about the patterns we only see when we step back, the relationships that return, and connections that are guided by something larger than ourselves.
The Reading Club works like this:
We’ve selected a diverse range of books from The Red Rock Public Library’s collection with a theme in common, covering different genres, cultures, periods, etc.
After a few weeks we meet at the library to discuss the books we read over some light refreshments!
The guidelines are informal- you can read more than one of the book selections if you are an avid reader (but please only borrow one book at a time!) Busy month and you couldn’t finish your pick? You can still join us to discuss our reading!
Visit the library, email rrockib@gmail.com or call 807-886-2558 to register at any time!
This program is for 18+

I Love Red Rock Punch Card Challenge
2026-04-01 - 2026-05-29 | Red Rock Public Library
The Red Rock Public Library is introducing an ALL NEW spring challenge, open to all residents of Red Rock- all ages and abilities!
Stop by the library starting April 1 to pick up your I ❤️ Red Rock Punch Card!
This program is designed to encourage residents to go outside, get exercise, engage in the community, support local businesses, utilize the library, connect with friends and neighbours, and foster a sense of hometown pride! Because we all know that Red Rock is the BEST place to live!
So here’s the fun part- enjoying Red Rock is how you fill your I ❤️ Red Rock punch card(s)! And win PRIZES!
Here’s how it works:
1. When you pick up your first punch card, we will supply you with a list of suggestions on how you can collect punches
Some examples:
Walk your dog down to the marina
Borrow a book from the library
Enjoy a meal at Melly Bees
Tell a Credit Union team member how much you appreciate them
2. Write down the actions you complete on your punch card. (You can come up with your own activities on how you’re appreciating your town, too!)
3. Return to the library for your punches whenever it is convenient for you- whether you have completed one activity or all six!
The more activities you complete between April 1 and May 29th, the more chances you have to win PRIZES!
Six activities completed = one full punch card!
One full punch card = one entry to win PRIZES!
You can fill as many punch cards as you want before the challenge ends May 29th!
And our prizes have been procured from amazing Red Rock businesses! Don’t miss out!
We are eternally grateful to our generous sponsors for this program, The Friends of The Red Rock Public Library and Tanners Lawn & Drive ❤️

What might your donation go towards?
The Friends of The Red Rock Public Library’s main goal and interest is to promote and raise money to fund library events and other needs, and to see our library succeed and grow. Your generous donation could go towards any number of things that The Friends provide for The Red Rock Public Library!
The Friends are an integral part of supporting and promoting our services to the community. They finance much of our children’s programming; supplying funds for materials, snacks and prizes. They offer monetary support to help us provide local author visits, Attendance Draw prizes, seniors luncheons, our Virtual Author Presentations platform, and workshops of all sorts, for all ages. They often provide physical items where the Library budget lacks; such as reading chairs, meeting chairs, display materials, and bookshelves.
The Friends of the Red Rock Public Library also partners with the Red Rock Historical Society to provide specific historical programs and periodicals, they continually support local groups, and they purchase as much as possible from Red Rock vendors- keeping their fundraising monies in the community!
Done through their sponsorship of programs and materials, as well as their ongoing promotion of Library offerings through their social media platforms, The Friends support and assist the Library to achieve the 3 strategic goals outlined within the Red Rock Public Library’s Strategic Plan.
-Contribute to local quality of life
-Raise awareness of library offerings
-Diversify library programs and collections
