If you havent been in to visit us lately, youll get a pleasant surprise when you see our expanded Resource Centre, Conference Room, and Volunteer Office.  You can now browse the bookshelves and videos without tripping over chairs, tables, boxes, and volunteers!  Our volunteers are much happier working in this environment and feel they finally have a home and a window.

We have a selection of books, journals, articles, and videos available for loan.  You can either use the audio visual equipment in our Centre or take the resources home for personal use.  We have an extensive catalogue listing what is available on request.  Our Resource Centre is open for your convenience between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday.
