Many of the entrepreneurs who come to her with a business idea are looking for a grant to help kick start their business, which allows her to point them to What’s the Big Idea. “You don’t have to go to the Province to get a grant to start your business.

There was a historical occa sion i n Neepawa this past Thursday as the community’s library celebrated it s 50t h anniversary. The Neepawa Public Library held an open house from 12:30 to 6:30 p.m. Guests were treated to cake, coffee and to read over a collection of newspaper articles detailing the library’s history. Librarian Debbie Unger gave the initial address, followed by Councillor Bill Stilwell, who gave a few details. For those who don’t know, the library that stands today is not the or ig i na l. T he l ibra r y started out simply as two book reading circles which then gathered at a public meeting at the courthouse in September, 1937 to organize a Neepawa Public Library Association. A board was formed, which had the power to make rules, reg ulations and appoint officers.

Neepawa’s Manitoba Telephone System building became the library in 1967. When the Neepawa Library moved to its current location, this building was demolished and became the parking lot for the Beautiful Plains Credit Union.
Over the years, the early library was hosted in multiple locations including Mur phy’s Drug Store, Brown’s Variety Store, over the Post Office (now Team Electronics), Central School’s third f loor, the
Legion Hall, and the town’s courthouse. Books at this time were provided via loaning from the Dauphin Library, donations from the community, purchased from user fees, and secondhand from bookstores.
It wasn’t until Neepawa was planning celebrations for its 75th anniversary that an official regional library was put forward as a project. In 1967, the bylaws that would allow for an official library were
passed, and the library took up official residence in what then was a vacant Manitoba Telephone System building, currently the parking lot of the Neepawa Credit Union. More library on page 9
