Library Volunteer Spotlight

"Libraries are important because they are open to everyone and offer everyone opportunities - opportunities to improve your mind, to explore new ideas, to learn about the world, to meet people, and to fall in love with reading."

~ Marie Rozman, Regional Library Board of Trustees

Bull Street Library Roof Replacement

Bull Street Library will begin work to replace the roof, starting the week of July 17, 2023 and continuing into the Fall. During the project, there will be an interruption of library services, including possible closure of the building. Library visitors will also experience additional noise and reduced access to parking.

We will provide updates with more information about the schedule and impact of the work as the project progresses. Thank you for your patience with this renovation process.
