It's no April Fool's joke, we care about your health and safety!

Remember though, we are here to help! Up-to-date information will be posted on our website and shared via social media. Staff will be responding to voicemails, emails and text messages from Monday to Friday, 10am – 5pm . Please call our main line at 905-857-1400, text us at 416-828-7086 or email  reference@caledon.library.on.ca
