We are a non-profit, independent, volunteer community library in rural New Brunswick (since 2008). The heritage building (1854-58) is owned by Arcadia, which was formed through the 2023 New Brunswick local governance reforms. We are also a Province of New Brunswick Visitor Information Center. Visit your Library regularly and meet up with your friends and neighbours. Check out the book collection for children, teens and adults; search through the recently revised 'Genealogy and Local History' section; sit in on a book club meeting; enjoy Coffee and Cards on Thursdays; see our huge collection of quilting/craft books; get tourism brochures; use a computer or Wi-Fi; make photo copies (small fee) or send a fax. There are used books for sale in the back hallway (freewill offering appreciated). Browse this website and learn about the programs and services that we have to offer. Take out 4 books (or magazines) at a time for 3 weeks or renew as needed. Memberships are free. We hope to see you soon.
Mission Statement
The Mission of The Cambridge Narrows Regional Library is to:
- collect and organize donated books for a free library service for area residents;
- encourage in children and their parents an ongoing love of reading and learning;
- encourage seniors to participate in and volunteer for various activities related to reading and enrichment;
- serve and be responsive to the needs of the community by partnering with other community organizations and be an activity centre for the area; and
- serve the local area and the Province by acting as a Visitor Information Centre.
The mission statement will be reviewed periodically by the Library Committee. (revised Sept. 8, 2022)
Volunteers
We welcome anyone who is willing to volunteer 3 hours a month. Volunteering is a great way to make friends and become a part of the community. Margaret Mead said, "The ideal culture is one that finds a place for every human gift." That describes the culture of our library. Each volunteer is encouraged to use their gifts (talents/interests/passions). We get to do what we love and serve our community at the same time! Win/Win! Please join the team!
