Visit Seguin Public Libraries

Our libraries offer much more than books. Enjoy weekly children’s crafts, book clubs, and Coffee and Conversation socials. We also provide 3D printing, Cricut access for crafting, puzzles, audiobooks, and free access to Ancestry.ca, Transparent Language, and other e-resources. With Wi-Fi and public computers available, the library is a great place to visit, make it part of your weekly routine.

March Break was a hit!

We’d like to thank everyone who took part in our March Break activities. During the week, we welcomed 368 visits and had 114 people attending programs, including ScribbleBots, Slime Making, and Family Trivia Night.

A big thank you to our friends at Georgian Bay Biosphere for hosting two fantastic programs, and to Scientists in School for delivering the online sessions.
