The Library comes to snowbound residents The other day, my family gathered around the kitchen table for a conference. "The situation is serious," I said. And frankly everyone had to agree. We had been living in denial for long enough. Reluctantly we decided to take action... and bought a snow blower. Yes, it is true-- as a family we are snowshoveling challenged. But I must say I am fortunate that I can joke about the weather. For many people, winter snow and ice can present real problems for getting around. The Halton Hills Public Library definitely understands this and we want you to know that when the weather is nasty, we have services that can help. If you are unable to get to the library due to a disability or ill health, our Library-on-Wheels service is a great way to still use the library. Anything that can be normally borrowed from the library-- books, audiobooks, magazines, CDs, video games, graphic novels, comic books, children's books, DVDs, energy meters, and more-- can be delivered to your door through this service. You can select specific items or you can give us a general idea of what you like and we can select items for you. You can take advantage of Library on Wheels for a short period of time, or use it regularly every month. For more information, please call 905-873-2681 extension 2512. Please remember, if the weather is nasty, we at the library are always happy to help you by phone or email.
