SPECIAL NOTE:
Thanks to all those who brought books back in September. Much as we like to collect the late dues ($0.50 per book per month) to enrich our library budget, we would rather have all the books available for Mississauga Quilters to enjoy.
Unfortunately, there are 27 books missing from the library collection, some of them since 2014! To replace these books would take up the whole Library Budget for the 2016-2017 year. I am sure that we would all like to have some new books to enjoy. CLICK HERE TO SEE THE LIST OF MISSING BOOKS

Have you tried our downloadable books, magazines, and music? And soon we will have comics and indieflix too.
Among the downloadable magazines we carry:
American Patchwork and Quilting
Quilting Arts
Quilts and More
At first glance browsing the magazines I couldn’t find “pull out” pattern sheets. Tthe pattern templates are available. Under the cutting instructions for the pattern, when it says the template is on Pattern Sheet x just click on this underlined phrase and link will go to the templates.
So far I have found one quilt book amongst the downloadable eBooks. Quilts with a Modern Slant. A search on the term “quilting” found a nice selection of quilt related novels.
Freegal supplies music as a background to your quilting. You can download 5 songs a week and stream 5 hours of music a day.
Coming in May will be downloadable Comics of all types and Indie films and documentaries.
Lynda.com from the Library eResources page has tutorials to help with your computer skills and business management.
It’s Spring and Port Credit branch has a Heritage Seed Library.
There are now 3D printers available.
Check it out at Mississauga Library.
