Temporary Closure, Brant Hills Branch | Aug & Sep
Brant Hills Branch will temporarily close from Monday, August 10 to Sunday, September 13 due to construction activities at Brant Hills Community Centre, including the library.
Unfortunately, a multi-week closure is needed while construction crews complete additional structural reinforcement before the new heating and cooling system can be installed on the roof.
We greatly appreciate your patience and understanding during this closure and apologize for the inconvenience. Read on to find out what to expect during the closure, including important dates, pop-up storytime, and how to check in for Summer Reading Club.
Important Dates
- July 31: Last day to place holds for pickup at Brant Hills Branch
- August 9: Last open day at Brant Hills Branch
- August 10: Brant Hills Branch is closed, including the book drop
- September 14: Planned reopening of Brant Hills Branch
Please note the book drop will not be available during the closure. You can return your items to any other BPL location. The nearest branches are Tansley Woods Branch (1996 Itabashi Way) and Alton Branch (3040 Tim Dobbie Drive).
If you have difficulty returning items to another library location, please speak with staff at the branch, call 905.639.3611, or use our Contact Us form for help.
Kids Programs
Regularly scheduled programs will not run during the closure, but we will be offering a special outdoor family storytime at Brant Hills Park while the branch is closed.
Outdoor Family Storytime
Read, sing, and play with us every Wednesday during the closure. Perfect for children ages 5 and younger and their grown-ups. Meet us near the playground near Brant Hills Public School. We invite you to bring a lawn chair or blanket for comfort. In case of inclement weather, please consider attending an indoor storytime at nearby library locations.
- Wednesdays, August 12 to September 9, 10:30-11am
- Location: Brant Hills Park, D1 behind the library
Summer Reading Club
If you are participating in Summer Reading Club, the closure will impact weeks seven and eight of your weekly check-ins. You will have two alternative options to complete your weekly check-ins during the closure:
Option 1: Check in at another nearby branch for weeks seven and eight of the program.
Option 2: When you visit Brant Hills to check in for week 6, pick up an ‘SRC at home’ kit with stickers, charms, and everything you’ll need to complete your final check-ins online.
Talk to staff at the branch and find out which option will work best for you.
Thank You
We want to again extend our thanks to Brant Hills customers for their patience and understanding during these disruptions. We’d love to see you at one of our other locations this summer! Our online resources are always available, including digital resources, books, and more. We are looking forward to welcoming you back to the branch on September 14.
