To celebrate Canadian Library Month this October, we asked our patrons to share their library stories with us, highlighting how the Barrie Public Library has made a difference in their lives.
Barrie Public Library member Hinda shares her remarkable journey of reconnecting with long-lost family members through the library’s genealogical resources. With access to tools like Ancestry and expert staff guidance, she discovered her relatives across the world.
Her story highlights how libraries can unlock the past and help people make life-changing connections, preserving history and building bridges between generations.
