Slated for 2030, Oakville Public Library's New Central Library is set to become a landmark building for Downtown Oakville. Guided by community insight, the redesigned location will offer flexible and accessible spaces that celebrate Oakville’s history, support lifelong learning, and promote community connections.
As part of the Town of Oakville’s Downtown Cultural Hub plans, the New Central Branch will serve as a vibrant destination for all Oakville residents.
Follow along and join us in bringing this exciting project to life. Learn more here.
