Early November was incredibly busy for us at the library. We wrapped up the annual book sale on November 2nd and had our Novel Idea Auction on the 7th. Thank you so much to all our patrons and the Friends of the Library for many hours of volunteer work.
So many patrons stepped up and donated beautiful and uniquely hand-crafted items to be featured in our auction. If you're wondering what sort of things were auctioned off, you can still check out the online gallery.
Things have calmed down for us after the auction, and we have been blown away by the generosity of our community. Thank you again to everyone who contributed and came out in support of our library.

| We are also, of course, pleased to report that our salmon eggs are looking great. We look forward to watching them progress throughout the winter. |

Your Prince Rupert Library card also provides access to CELA, Libby, and Kanopy. If you have any questions about these available services, please ask at the circulation desk. |
