Library News

After years of hope and requests from Holly residents, it’s official – there’s a new library branch coming to the Holly community in Barrie’s south-west end.

Literacy is fun for everyone! It’s as easy as reading a book together, sharing a nursery rhyme or singing a song. If you’re looking for some inspiration, check out our Events Calendar for a week filled with literacy-based programs!

On January 12, 2021, the Provincial Government announced a second provincial emergency effective January 14. Our library services remain unchanged with this announcement. We will continue to offer pick-up of new books and movies, 24/7 returns, and online programming and services. 

Books give us a fantastic opportunity to explore beyond our lived experience. Join our Diversity Reads challenge to discover the world from different perspectives. Learning about and celebrating our differences will bring us closer together!

Let the library help you learn from home. We have online resources aimed at our younger learners as well as those in middle school or high school.
