From October 19 to 25, we’re celebrating Ontario Public Library Week, and this year’s theme is “Libraries for Life.” It’s a perfect reminder that libraries aren’t just for students or bookworms—they’re for everyone, at every stage of life.
So… what are you doing this weekend?
If you haven’t visited your local library in a while, this is the perfect time to rediscover what makes it such a valuable part of our community. Whether you’re 5 or 95, libraries offer something for everyone:
– For kids: Storytime, crafts, games, and a safe space to explore imagination
– For teens: Study zones, gaming nights, books, and movies
– For adults: Career resources, book clubs, tools, and quiet corners to focus
– For seniors: Social programs, lifelong learning, and a welcoming place to connect
– For everyone: Free Wi-Fi, digital resources, movies, audiobooks, and community events.
Libraries are more than just buildings with books—they’re hubs of connection, creativity, and lifelong learning. They evolve with us, support us, and inspire us.
So this weekend, why not stop by your local library? Bring a friend, your kids, or just yourself. You might be surprised by what you find.
Visit your local branch and check out what’s happening during Library Week.
Let’s celebrate the places that help us read, learn, and discover—libraries for life.
