Book shelf

Effective Dec. 26, 2020 - Due to the COVID-19 provincewide shutdown our branches are CLOSED for public browsing. We invite patrons to access our Library Takeout service, which provides a pick up appointment time prior to visiting your branch. If you are interested in accessing this service and need assistance, please feel free to reach out to us using our Ask a Librarian service. 

----------------------------------

Please take a moment to review our branch hours. We ask that you visit our Browse, Borrow & Go! page to learn more about what an in-branch visit looks like. This includes safety measures and procedures as outlined in Keeping Ontario safe and Open Framework. 

  • Please be aware that non-medical grade face masks are required while visiting the Library as per Region of Waterloo Bylaw 20-035.
  • You will be asked to provide information for the purposes of contact tracing, each time you visit the Library.

We will continue to offer our Library Takeout for patrons who prefer to book set appointment times to pick up their library materials. Need assistance accessing our Catalogue, or want advice on what to borrow? Reach out to our Ask a Librarian service and a friendly Librarian will be happy to assist.    

Do you have additional questions, thoughts or comments? We'd love to hear them! Please email us or reach out to us at 226-748-8030. We truly appreciate your ongoing support!
