Have you seen us around town? Our BPL on the GO van and e-trike are out in our community coming to YOU!

This summer, you’ll find us in parks, at the beach, the Barrie Farmer’s Market, Open Air Dunlop, and more. When you see our van and trike, head on over for amazing activities, to grab an early reader, or get signed up for a library card.
