The County Seniors’ Centre is proud to host a “Library Cart” for all to use. Books are provided courtesy of the County of Prince Edward Public Library & Archives. People are encouraged to enjoy the books, then feel free to pass on to a friend or return them to the Seniors’ Centre cart. This is one of many joint projects between Community Care and the Library. Community Care acquired 10 tablets and then gave them to the Library to manage loaning them to people who need them. Community Care volunteers deliver books to Library patrons. Library staff provide informational webinars to Community Care folks. In the photo, Community Care executive director, Debbie MacDonald Moynes watches Library CEO Barbara Sweet restock
