From the Archives: Celebrate Canadian Library Month
A strong library system is the cornerstone of a great community! Did you know in 2018, over 1.45 million people visited one of the six Guelph library locations and over 46,000 people attended the library's events?
This October, take time to celebrate your library and recognize the important contribution libraries make to education, literacy and life-long learning in our thriving community. A Visit Will Get You Thinking.

Volunteer: It's good for your health and the community!
According to the McMaster Optimal Aging Portal, civic participation helps older adults enjoy healthier, more engaged and active lives. Groups and organizations can also build relationships, and reduce social isolation and loneliness.
