Bethany Ontario Municipal Service Centre
I’m continuing my exploration of Bethany, Ontario. It’s a special little town, with a rural atmosphere but close enough to all the amenities. If you’re looking for an affordable place, with easy, relaxed living, lots of small town charm plus an easy commute, Bethany is the place for you!
I visited Bethany again last week and paid a visit to the Manvers Municipal Office.

WW2 War Memorial
Flanked by war memorials from both WWI and WW2, the building housing the municipal offices is also Bethany’s branch of

WW1 Memorial
the City of Kawartha Lakes Public Library, as well as the office of the local nurse/practioner. This is a nice additionto the Millbrook Medical clinic and the hospitals in Peterborough, Lindsay and Bowmanville.

Being a book person, libraries are a favourite place for me and the library in Bethany was no exception. It’s a cozy space with free internet access and a great kids’ area.

The Children’s Programs include Preschool Storytime and Crafts on Thursday mornings, Super Saturday Board Games for kids 7-15 and Wise Guys and Gals Homework Club on Thursday evenings.
