Library News

Calling all teens and caregivers of teens! The Barrie Public Library is celebrating Teentober this October. Join us for fun reads, programs, and activities.

October is Canadian Library Month, and October 20 - 26 is Ontario Public Library Week! During this month, libraries and library partners across Canada raise awareness of the valuable role libraries play in the lives of people in Canada.

This Canadian Library Month, we're asking you to Share the Library Love with your friends and family for a chance to win great prizes! 

Each October, Canadians celebrate Dyslexia Awareness Month. This year’s theme is #BreakingTheSilence, and the intention is that these stories will help to inspire others, reduce stigma and motivate governments to identify and appropriately support children with dyslexia across the nation.

We're excited to announce BPL will be hosting our first-ever Fall Book Sale! The sale will take place on Saturday, October 19 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm at our Downtown Library. Don’t miss this opportunity to find some cozy titles for the fall season.
