The County of Lennox and Addington Public Libraries are proud to support the community’s culture and talent. It is for this reason that we have started the “Art in the Library” program in partnership with the Greater Napanee Area Arts Association (GNAAA). A prominent feature wall was created at the Napanee Branch specifically for this program where artists can display their work.

"Emergent Light", the latest exhibit, will be running until February 28th. 

Caitlyn, a student Page at the County of Lennox & Addington Libraries’ Napanee Branch, recently enjoyed the YA novel Once and For All by Sarah Dessen. “This novel is by turns heartbreaking and hopeful,” she says.

“Tis’ the season for a great feel-good read!” says Marg, Supervisor of the Napanee Branch. “This time of the year I generally take a break from my preferred genres of psychological thrillers and historical fiction and steer towards lighter, more seasonal books. Richard Paul Evans’ newly released book The Noel Diary was my first holiday book this year and it certainly fit the easy-read bill for me.”

Kristin Maloney, long-time staff member at the County Libraries, recently enjoyed William and Catherine: Their Story by Andrew Morton.
