Burlington Public Library has begun our strategic planning process and we want your ideas, your feedback, your comments, and your support as we work together to make sure BPL is ready to serve you now and into the future. No matter how you use the library - or even if you don't - we want to hear what you have to say.
Questions? Contact Project Manager: Valerie Wettlaufer, Coordinator, Strategic Planning & Projects
Phone: 905-639-3611 ext. 1109 Email: wettlauferv@bpl.on.ca.
