Lending Library
The Lending Library is a collection of resource materials and various items to assist individuals/families of all ages. The Lending Library is located at the Kingswood Centre in Montague. Clients who presently train in our workshop have constructed the custom shelving units to house the library materials which also provided additional skill building opportunities and a sense of pride for the finished product.
The Lending Library currently has an array of items appropriate for various ages and diverse needs and we continue to build on this. The items purchased will fall into eight categories from communicative to adaptive to tactile to assistive. There are electronics, hand held musical items, assistive cutlery, etc., and the list continues to grow.

Monthly Events
United Way has been provide funding to the Kingswood Centre for monthly events to allow the Clients to experience events that they may not have a chance to experience.
These events provide an avenue of peer interaction, appropriate etiquette, community awareness/involvement and fun. Social, cultural and recreational opportunities tend to fall to the last for individuals with a disability. These monthly events allows the Clients to builds self-esteem and allows them as individuals to grow in the knowledge of the world around them and sometimes interests they did not even know they had.
Some of the activities that have been done to date are:
- Glow Bowling/Pizza Party
- Day trip to Cavendish
- A movie at Empire Theaters
- Viewing of Air Show in Summerside
- A sow at the Confederation Centre of Arts - Buddy Holly
-
Day trip to Magnetic Zoo in Moncton
We would like to thank the United Way for giving us the opportunity.
THANK YOU!!!!
