New Appleby Relocation Update: Big opening day - September 15th

Getting the books on the right shelves.

Construction is almost complete on the relocated New Appleby Branch. Library staff are busy shelving books, creating displays, and preparing the branch for its upcoming opening day.

A note on the name of the newest library. It is on New Street but it isn’t named New.

The library ranch that is being replaced was known as the Appleby Branch.

The addition to the library service that will be part of the Bateman Community Centre will be known as the New Appleby Branch

September 15 is the first day of operations at the new branch at 5151 New Street. The branch will open at 9am, and you can enter through the front door of the community centre to access the library space.

Starting October 1, the branch Program Room will be available to rent for interested individuals, non-profits, community groups or businesses.
