The Shelburne Public Library is providing curbside service in addition to in-library browsing. Library staff will also choose some books or if you have some favourites, email the library or give them a call and they will prepare a curbside pick-up for you.

As well, if you need your vaccination certificate printed, library staff will be happy to help you. This is a free service provided by your library.

New Books

Driven to Succeed: by Steve Anderson. I’ve just finished reading this incredibly inspirational book by our own Deputy Mayor, Steve Anderson. Viewed through the lens of a young Black youth and the immigrant experience, we see how determination, faith, and the support of family and friends help him to achieve success in steps that are constantly challenged along the way. On October 27th, we will be videotaping an interview with Steve and airing it on our Library YouTube channel in early November. Don`t miss this! There will be more information on our Social Media platforms.

You can browse all our books if you login to our catalogue! Go to www.shelburnelibrary.ca then click on Our Catalogue to look for new books or browse the entire collection.
