Curl up and read

Geese are starting to fly over Westport and the Rideau Lakes. We know what that means: Fall is just around the corner. Soon it will be time to curl up with a good book.

You don’t have to go far to find one around here. There are six public libraries in the area — in Elgin, Portland, Newboro, Delta, South Elmsley, and Westport.

That’s a lot of books. In addition, there is computer and Internet access, large print books, videos, DVDs and a microfilm reader in Elgin. There are children’s books, reference books, “how-to” books, and best-selling fiction. You can read about gardening, sewing, flower-arranging, boat-building. You can be scared out of your wits with mysteries and thrillers, or swept away to an enchanted island with romances.

Light the fire, get a blanket, pour a cup of tea, and the world of reading is yours – all within our Westport-Rideau Lakes neighbourhood.
