Library News

The Barrie Public Library is delighted to share that the 21st annual Barrie Dragon Boat Festival hosted by the Barrie Public Library and presented by Tim Hortons is set for Saturday, August 16, 2025!   

Celebrate the joy and resilience of Trans perspectives and experiences

Your Barrie Public Library membership helps you live more sustainably! By borrowing, repairing, and swapping from the library instead of buying new, you can save money and reduce waste.  

All BPL locations will remain closed for the day as power outages and ice storm damage across Barrie limit our ability to offer service.  We apologize for an inconvenience and hope to be back to regular operating hours on Monday.

We asked our patrons to share their library stories with us, highlighting how the Barrie Public Library has made a difference in their lives. Mayra shares her experience as a regular attendee of the English Conversation Circle.
