Did you know October is Canadian Library Month and October 18-24 is Ontario Public Library Week? If you love your library and want to support Shelburne’s cultural and civic hub, get a library a card.  Although you don’t need a card to attend any of the above events, use our public computers, or our space, the number of library cards we have directly impacts the amount of municipal funding we receive.  If you are a resident of Shelburne, Mulmur, Mono, Melancthon, or Amaranth, drop on in to sign up for a library card and learn about all of the great resources you will gain access to including passes to places like museums and parks, our digital collection, online resources and more!
