Play Packs are kits with books and play equipment available to borrow with your free library card from the Pictou-Antigonish Regional Library, in partnership with Antigonish County Recreation, Town of Antigonish Recreation & Active Pictou County. They are available at libraries in Antigonish, New Glasgow, Pictou, River John, Stellarton, Trenton and Westville. To learn more, contact your local library. This initiative is made possible with support from the Antigonish Town & County, Pictou Central/East, Pictou West, and the North Shore Area Community Health Boards.
Borrow By Mail is a free mail-order library for rural residents of Pictou and Antigonish Counties. Families may select materials, such as books, magazines, audio books, and DVDs from the online catalogue. This service is ideal for families unable to regularly commute to library branches and children who are home schooled. This is a free service, as all postage is paid by the Library.
All Pictou-Antigonish Regional Library branches offer children's and youth programs, while the selection of programs varies by library branch (largely due to space). All programs are offered free of charge, and registration is required for some programs due to the limited seating space.
The following list of library programs usually start in September, with a pause over Christmas holidays, and finish in May/June. In the summer months, some drop-in programs may be offered as well as Summer Reading Clubs, and Family Movies. For more information, and to register - please contact your local library branch for details.
