They’re the support system for all the great and diverse programs offered by the library and they’ve never been more important than during the COVID-19 pandemic.

They coordinate large book sales, support writing contests, and help the Library purchase a variety of materials, including books, musical instruments, furniture for reading areas, book club sets, and much more.

Libraries are generally full of people of all ages looking to take advantage of their numerous books and programs to learn and connect with others. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed how libraries in Caledon operate, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t offering residents something to do.
Caledon Public Library has worked hard to ensure people from across the area are still able to enjoy their programming, just through a different lens with their shift to the online world.
Although the province is still dealing with the pandemic and widespread closures, Caledon Public Library has a jam-packed spring to keep people busy while they’re in lockdown at home.
