Let the browsing begin!
We are excited to announce you can visit in person. The Humphrey and Christie branches will be open to visits, starting July 12th and July 19th respectively.  Also, the Foley and Rosseau branches will be open for curbside pickup again starting on July 12th.  We are committed to providing a safe environment at the libraries for you and our team.  Our in-person visits will follow the government and local health unit recommendations.  Please continue to visit the library virtually if you or your family are experiencing any Covid-19 symptoms or have tested positive.
Curbside Pickup & In Person Visiting Hours
New protocols are in place for in person visiting.  During a visit, you will be asked health check questions, required to wear a mask and physically distance from other patrons.  As we limit the number of people inside the library, please keep your stay as short as possible to allow others to enter the library.  Curbside pickup is still available for those that do not wish to enter the libraries at this time.  Please continue to return items to the outside drop boxes.
