The Fonthill Branch will be closed Monday, October 6 – Sunday, October 19 for the installation of new shelving. The brand-new, accessible-height shelving, generously funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF), will replace the current shelving that is nearly forty years old. This exciting update will provide a better browsing and borrowing experience for customers, while also ensuring shelving meets Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) guidelines, which will remove barriers and ensure access for all.  
 
This interior update serves as the first step toward a two-phase renovation that will see the branch updated and expanded at the existing location. Construction for Phase One, which includes a new accessible entrance, updated washrooms, and a refurbished program room, is expected to begin in spring 2026. Learn more at lppl.ca/fonthillreno.
