Let’s Celebrate a Summer of Reading Success!

We’re wrapping up this year’s TD Summer Reading Club with a special celebration to honour all our amazing readers! Join us for an exciting Fire and Ice show presented by Mad Science, enjoy face painting, tasty treats and strike a pose in front of our festive photo backdrop. As a special memento of your summer reading success, you’ll receive a Polaroid photo to take home. 

Need a break from the noise? Step into our Quiet Corner, where kids can enjoy calming, hands-on activities and experiments in a peaceful setting.

The Isabel Turner Branch will be temporarily closed starting Fall 2024 for renovations. During this time, we’ll be temporarily moving to the Cataraqui Centre.  Get updates here.

King Con Workshops

Register Now for King Con 2021 Workshops!

Every year King Con offers a number of fun and instructive workshops, and this year is no different. Do you want to know how to design and develop an original character for comics, video gaming, toy production, or animation? Do you want to learn how to face paint? What about how to pitch and publish a comic book? How to begin writing Solarpunk fiction? Or how to build and decorate a cardboard mask? We got you! But a few of these workshops have limited seating and require you to pick up a free kit before the King Con weekend, so we encourage you to review our King Con programming and register for these workshops now!
