At The Library: ‘The library is your ticket to summer adventure’

Looking for free, family-friendly fun this summer? Your local library has you covered! 

Whether you’re diving into books or nature, the library is your ticket to summer adventure.   

Borrow free day-use passes to Ontario Parks, Grand River Conservation Authority, Credit Valley Conservation and Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, Hamilton Conservation Authority, and Conservation Halton – a perfect way to explore the outdoors. Passes check out for a one-week loan on a first come, first served basis from select Wellington County Libraries. Search ‘park pass’ at wellington.ca/LibraryCatalogue or call your local branch for details.

Our Summer Reading Club contest is in full swing, keeping kids reading and having a blast all summer long! Teens and adults can join the fun, too – just sign up and earn ballots for every book you read. Grand prizes are up for grabs in every age group, so start your next great read and collect entries until Aug. 23. 

Plus, join us for a full calendar of awesome activities, including story times, crafts, hands-on science, scavenger hunts, special guests, and so much more.
