L.P. Fisher Public Library & Thompson Centre
Did you know there are many other items besides books you can check out? A large board game collection (for use in the library), as well as snowshoes, hiking poles, and kites you can take home for 3 weeks! Borrow your choice of the best books, magazines, newspapers, CDs or DVDs. We’ve got something for all ages! Search our collection.
There’s more to a library than books! We have activities for everyone. Use our public computers to surf the net, catch up on the news, write your resume, or tap into our E-Resources and our Virtual Reference Library.
Ask for what you want to read. Just because something isn’t on your local library’s shelves doesn’t mean you can’t read it! Stop by or give us a call to make a request and we’ll deliver your selections to the most convenient library for you.
Our friendly and knowledgeable staff provides quality services and programs. Drop in… the library belongs to everyone!
