Despite the lockdown that takes effect today, Brampton Library will continue to offer limited in-branch services at Chinguacousy in the Civic Centre, Four Corners, and Springdale Branch Libraries. Our remaining branches, while closed to the public, offer Curbside Pickup, with expanded hours at most locations beginning today. All branches, whether open or Curbside, offer our new Grab ‘n’ Go bags. Materials can be returned easily and safely through our 24-hour external dropboxes at all branches.

Service Modifications at our Open Branches:

Effective today, and for the duration of the current lockdown period, our Chinguacousy, Four Corners, and
Springdale Branch Libraries are open for these services only:

Please note that in-branch study space and the use of personal devices to work or study is not available or permitted at this time.

Our librarians have put together surprise bags of books on ever-changing themes. Pick up your Grab ‘n’ Go bag at any Brampton Library branch. If you have a theme in mind, head to our website and complete the Book Bundles request form.

Our highest priority remains the safety of our customers and staff. We have worked collaboratively with the City of Brampton to enhance our health and safety protocols through the following:

• During our operating hours at these branches, we will close to the public every 90 minutes, for 30
  minutes of cleaning multi-use and high-touch areas
• We have installed plexi-glass shields at our service points
• All customers and staff must wear masks in our buildings, in compliance with the City of
  Brampton Mandatory Mask By-Law 135-2020
• Everyone is asked to self-monitor for symptoms of illness and not enter a library branch if feeling unwell.
