We are still providing you with safe curbside pickup appointments despite the current Lockdown provisions. Please call 519-925-2168 or email us at info@shelburnelibrary.ca if you need any help. We can select books for you or gather ones you have put on hold.

Our objective is to provide you with the service you need during these times.

For our Community Readers – due to the current Lockdown, we have had to put the video taping of our Community Readers on hold for the time being. We will resume as soon as we are able.
