National Youth Week is May 1 – 7! We are dedicated to celebrating youth and their active participation in their community. This could be drama, sport, dance, civic engagement, volunteering, and more.
We're excited to announce the return of our volunteer-led BIG Spring Book Sale taking place from Friday, May 24 to Sunday, May 26 at our Downtown Library. Don’t miss this opportunity to build up your summer reads collection!
Here at BPL, we believe poetry is important because it uniquely captures and communicates human emotions, experiences, and perspectives, fostering empathy, reflection, and cultural heritage. Join us as we celebrate National Poetry Month this April!
On the afternoon of April 8, 2024, a solar eclipse will be observed from much of Ontario, including Barrie and surrounding areas. This exciting global event will certainly be on everyone’s mind at the beginning of April and we’re here to help at the library.
