Find Your Quiet Space at the Library!
Whether you're diving into a good book, attending a creative program, or simply enjoying the quiet, the Library offers space to pause, reflect, and feel at ease.

Mental Health Week 2025
This year’s theme at the Canadian Mental Health Association, #UnmaskingMentalHealth, is all about being yourself. Little things- like a quiet corner, a good book, or a welcoming space- can help you breathe a little easier and feel a little more like you.
