Brampton Library has initiated an exciting new 10-year Master Plan to determine library space needs and designs that will best serve the needs of Brampton residents. Known as the Facilities Master Plan, it will guide how the City of Brampton and Brampton Library invest in existing and future library branches to inspire connections in our community.
Whether you are a regular or occasional library user, or even if you haven’t had a chance to visit us recently, we want to hear from you. We want to know about the things that draw you to the Library and ways that our branches can be improved.
Opportunities for public feedback will also be provided near the end of the planning process as we present the draft Facilities Master Plan. Stay tuned for updates!
Brampton Library has partnered with the City of Brampton's Community Events Team to bring you Story Walks!
A Story Walk is a way for you to enjoy a walk and a story! You don’t need to be there at a specific time and it is available all day for a few weeks.

From April 10 - May 2 you’ll be able to read 2021 Blue Spruce Nominee Fast Friends by Heather M. O’Connor.

Thank you to the City of Brampton, Groundwood Books, Penguin Random House and Groupe d’édition la courte échelle for their support.
We would like to acknowledge the Story Walks are held on the Treaty Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, and before them, the traditional territory of the Haudenosaune, Huron and Wendat. We also acknowledge the many First Nations, Metis, Inuit and other global Indigenous people that now call Brampton their home. We are honoured to live, work and enjoy this land.
