The Friends of the Peterborough Public Library will host their Spring Book Sale on Friday, April 25th and Saturday, April 26th. The Sale begins on Friday at 12:00 PM and continues until 7 PM. The hours on Saturday are 10:00 AM until 3 PM. There will be rare books dating from the early 20th century right through to current bestsellers. Many categories of fiction and non-fiction books can be found and we offer a varied selection of mysteries. Also, we have a wide array of children’s books from baby’s first book to teen fiction. Whatever category of book you're looking for, there's a good chance you'll find it at our Sale. Many books are priced at only $1.00. All proceeds from our Sales are donated to the Peterborough Public Library for special programming. We look forward to seeing you there.
In accordance with Provincial authorization, notice is hereby given that the Annual General Meeting of the Peterborough Historical Society will be held on Tuesday, 15 April, 2025, at The Peterborough Lions Center for the following purpose:
1. To elect Directors
2. To appoint Auditors for the Corporation and to authorize the Board of Directors to fix their remuneration
3. To receive the Financial Statements for 2024, reviewed by Patrick Sweeney, Chartered Accountant
To transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting.
Only paid-up members of record at the close of business on 15 April, 2025, will be entitled to attend and vote at the meeting.
Following the meeting will be a variety of speakers celebrating the life and contributions of former PHS President, local author, heritage advocate and long-time Hutchison House volunteer Jean Murray Cole.
Jean’s many institutional connections included: Lang Pioneer Village, the Canadian Canoe Museum, Christ Church Community Museum (Lakefield), and Peterborough’s St John’s Anglican Church. She was an editor and author, community volunteer, historian, speaker, board member, historical consultant/advisor, and (as noted in her Examiner obituary of 21 December 2024) “a citizen extraordinaire”.
Jean was President of the PHS when it was bequeathed the old stone house at 270 Brock Street, Peterborough, in 1969. It was with Jean leading the charge that the Society’s Board of the day decided to turn the property into the community museum – Hutchison House – that it has become. The conversion from residence to museum took several years of hard work and substantial fundraising, in both of which she played an instrumental role.
Non-members are welcome to attend the celebration of Jean. A reception with light refreshments will follow. For further information or to renew your PHS membership, please contact the historical society office at 705-740-2600.
