Jake Epp Library
 The mission of the Jake Epp Library is to provide access to resources that meet the educational, cultural, informational and leisure time needs of citizens of all ages and backgrounds. The library strives to foster a life long interest in reading.
The Library is fully computerized, making it quick and easy to access book information and location. The Library offers pre-school story hour, summer reading programs, on-going used book sales, and a variety of adult and children activities, including appearances by various authors. The Library's collection holds over 50,000 items - books, magazines, audio books, videos, DVDs, audio kits, language kits, microfilms, CDs, and newspapers. The Jake Epp Library has over 7,000 members, resulting in very high circulation statistics. The provincial statistics indicate that as a rural library, the Library ranks as being at the top for highest circulation per book in Manitoba. According to the 1999 statistic report, every item in the Library was circulated approximately four times during that calendar year.
The Library was constructed in 1996 and was named in honour of our former Member of Parliament for Provencher constituency. Mr. Epp served his constituents for 21 years from 1972 until his retirement from political office in 1993.
Friends of the Library is a registered non-profit group organized in 1996 to provide support and visibility to the Jake Epp Library through special projects as well as practical assistance in the library itself. Book clubs, organized by Friends of the Library, meet on a monthly basis.
