Our great friends and library supporters Dale and Cathy Cousins will be partnering with us again for the May 2022 Hanging Basket Sale!
Beginning Wednesday May 18th and continuing through the May Long Weekend, Hanover Canadian Tire owners Dale and Cathy Cousins, bring in a huge selection of the most gorgeous flowering hanging baskets and sell them for a great price of $12.99– and then they donate $1 for each one sold to the library.
The generous donation we receive helps the library to provide our services to the community. Because of this assistance we have been able to add more online resources in 2020 and 2021 to help everyone staying at home be entertained and informed. In 2022 we purchased more assistive reading devices to help those who are blind or partially sighted. These devices can be pre-loaded with audiobooks or play DAISY discs provided by the library.
Wednesday – Saturday 8 am – 6 pm
Sunday 9 am- 5 pm

Learning about treaties & how they continue to shape the province today is an important part of reconciliation with Indigenous peoples. Read more about the history of treaties in The Saugeen Ojibway Nation at: https://www.saugeenojibwaynation.ca/resources
In recognition that municipal boundaries are an ongoing colonial construct that ignores First Nations traditional territories, First Nations people with a status card or band membership of a local First Nation, and who are living in the traditional Saugeen Ojibway Nation lands, including Treaty 45 1/2, will be entitled to free library membership. In the spirit of original treaties, the library shall share its resources with mutual respect. The Hanover Public Library will continue to provide books and materials by First Nations and Indigenous authors in its collection.
These actions are a part of the Hanover Public Library’s mission as a welcoming and upbeat community hub that fosters lifelong learning.
