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.

Grownup Storytime Online Resumes

Grownup Storytime is back for our late fall program series.  Relax at home and listen to a couple of short readings – stories, essays, articles, excerpts and more. Sit down with your lunch or your knitting, or just take a break from your busy day. Why should kids have all the fun?

Mondays from 12 to 1 p.m., November 9 through December 14. Register now to receive the Zoom link.

Upper-year secondary student volunteers provide online tutoring to younger teens in Grades 7 and 8, as well as older teens requiring special academic support.
