Paisley Library branch moves to Community Centre

The Bruce County Public Library is relocating its Paisley Branch to the Paisley Community Centre at 391 Queen St. West.

The new, fully accessible space will feature a designated children’s area and an updated collection of titles.

Community feedback, gathered through a survey, helped shape the new hours of operation and branch priorities. The move was supported by the municipality of Arran-Elderslie, which secured $585,000 in funding, including $218,000 in provincial support, to renovate the second story and install an elevator.

A grand opening celebration is set for Friday, July 12, from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Bruce County Public Library, with its 17 branches and a Bookmobile, remains committed to connecting the community and providing access to resources and programs throughout Bruce County.

The current branch will close to the public starting Sunday, June 30, 2024.
