Description

The New Credit Library's collection consists of 475 titles of which 135 titles are for young readers. It is a varied collection mostly made up of donations. Since New Credit is an Anishnabeg community, the collection has a fair amount of material relating to our specific cultural group but we feature others as well. We currently do not loan our collection, but offer it as reference material for the community and others. The reason for this is because we, as a library board, do not want to lose any of our collection. Recently, we have discussed changing this policy to allow replaceable books to circulate and rare or irreplaceable books to remain as non-removable reference material.
