You are invited to join the Meaford Public Library team during Ontario Public Library Week as they celebrate all things library.
From Sunday, October 16 to Saturday, October 22, Meaford’s library will have activities, crafts, and events for people of all ages that acknowledge the wonderful and important roles that public libraries play in our lives.
Pop into the library and show your active library card all week and you could win one of the fabulous prizes sponsored by the Friends of Meaford Library. Don’t have a card? Get your free card today. Prizes include gift certificates to local stores, toys, and a Nintendo Switch.
Every day of the week, the library will have a photo booth to show your love for the library. And library staff will also encourage customers to let them know “Why I Love My Library”.
