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!

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.
