A new Art Centre for Kenora - that's the vision. 

A new art space deeply connected and rooted to the success of a well-established museum but free to strike out on its own remarkable path - that's the dream. 

A strong cultural presence in Kenora that inspires and supports artists, encourages creativity, strengthens community bonds, builds identity, invigorates growth, and says to the world, "We're unique. We have something very special to share with you. You'll be amazed." - that's the big picture.

DGTL Kenora not ony offers a safe, supervised space to just hang out but it also has some very creative programs. Whether it be 3D printing, green screen photography, video-making, digital design or chilling with friends playing video games, Digital Creator Kenora has something for everyone.

Can't make it to the library?  Let us come to you!  Homebound Delivery Service is now available to members of the Kenora Public Library. Kenora residents may request home services if they are unable to visit the library due to advanced age, temporary (lasting longer than 30 days) or permanent illness or disability, and have no one who can visit the library on their behalf.

Materials from our collection are selected by qualified staff based on your preferences and requests. Screened volunteers pick-up and deliver your library materials (books, movies, audiobooks, magazines, etc.) once a month.  There is no charge for this service.

For more information or to register, please call the Kenora Branch at 467-2081.
