This fall, Brampton Library is thrilled to host a variety of engaging events and activities for all ages that aim to connect our community in fresh and inspiring ways. Whether you’re a lifelong learner, a tech enthusiast, or simply looking to connect with like minded individuals, there’s something for everyone! Here’s a sneak peek of what’s coming up, including the return of FOLD Kids Book Fest to Gore Meadows for live events on Thursday, November 7 and Saturday, November 9.

Sustainability in action at the Repair Café
Only one more day until our Repair Café on October 19, from 1 - 4 p.m.! The Four Corners Branch will host the Repair Café, an event encouraging sustainability by helping you fix your broken household items. Partnering with Let’s Get Together and Sheridan College: Mission Zero, this initiative connects our community with local fixers. It’s a chance to reduce waste and give new life to items like electronics and small appliances that might otherwise end up in the landfill. As a bonus activity during this event, bring the items you no longer want to our Tech Collect for donation or safe recycling.

Customer Appreciation Week: Celebrating you
Customer Appreciation Week is also right around the corner! From October 19 - 27 we will celebrate you with activities that include a library-wide scavenger hunt and pop-up prize wheel. Pick up a passport in any branch to participate in the scavenger hunt and enter to win a prize pack. Complete our customer survey for the chance to win an iPad, or one of eight Bramalea City Centre gift cards. This week is our way of saying thank you and we look forward to seeing you soon!

Join us as we kick-off a brand new author series at Brampton Library
We’re thrilled to invite you to an engaging and inspiring talk with acclaimed author Farah Heron on October 25 from 6:30 - 7:45 p.m. at the Cyril Clark Theatre. Farah will be in conversation with the Festival of Literary Diversity’s Program Coordinator Hudson Lin, discussing her latest book, Just Playing House.
