“Whether you’re a regular library user or not, we need your insight and ideas to make sure our new central library delivers the programs and services that will meet our community’s needs through to 2040,” said Steve Kraft, CEO of Guelph Public Library.

The City has already posted a long list of programs that are planned, which includes topics on computer skills, fitness and exercise, language learning, cooking, gardening and crafts.

The City wants to know if other programs should be offered, as well as input on how multi-use and outdoor spaces planned for the library should be used as well.

Guelph’s 10-year forecast suggests construction of the library in the Baker District will begin in 2021.
