Ontario Public Library Week 2021
October 17 – 23, 2021: Explore OPL through the people who make our library and our community unique
The week was designed to showcase a love and appreciation for Ontario libraries and to raise awareness of the valuable role libraries play in our lives.
A library card can open doors to so much more than books, and who better to show us the endless possibilities than our dedicated OPL staff and community members.

During each day of OPLW we will feature a branch story along with stories from various a different OPL community member; staff, customers and, or partners all within the OPL community, to talk about what makes their respective branch experience unique.
