Spinning Reels

Thank you Spinning Reels! The Muskoka Lakes Public Library has, once again, received a very generous donation from Spinning Reels of Muskoka to supplement the DVD collection. Spinning Reels is a non-profit group of film lovers that regularly bring out-of-the-mainstream movies to the big screen in Bracebridge for the enjoyment of all. Some of those same films, as well as many others, have been added to the set of movies available for check out at the Port Carling branch thanks to the funds received from the Spinning Reels organization.
