The GUPPIES have joined Ribfest!

28 June | Get ready to join in a morning of toe tapping songs from across genres and eras with the Gananoque Ukulele Players - a diverse group ukulele enthusiasts that spans from Brockville to Kingston and from Athens to Northern NY State!

Locally known as the GUPies, this crew jams every Wednesday at the Gananoque Public Library. They regularly use their talent to help raise funds for local charities, perform for social events, and engage seniors in retirement residences across the region. They care about our community as much as we do in the Rotary Club of Gananoque and Gananoque Lions Club - District A4.

All ukulele players are welcome to bring their instruments and strum along. This will be a switch from our usual Sunday morning gospel hour and worship service (due to unavailability) but guaranteed there will be plenty of heart and soul to lift your spirits for the rest of the day!

Is someone in Gan missing a whale? This guy swam into our library today! He was pretty chill with our new summer staff member Emily and our friend Judy from EarlyON. You may want to check him out at our TD Summer Reading Club_Club de lecture d'été TD LAUNCH this Friday, June 19th with Ocean Week Canada - Semaine de l'océan Canada and Water Rangers. I think he may be swimming over to Leeds and the Thousand Islands Public Library on the 25th!

Discover. Learn. Grow. Our community library offers great resources and innovative programs.
