Hi Brampton 👋!

It has been two months since South Fletcher's Branch Library re-opened at 500 Ray Lawson Blvd in the Susan Fennell Sportsplex after its full renovation.

Now, we are officially cutting the ribbon on the transformed 14,000 square foot branch next week on Tuesday, May 5th, hosted by Brampton Library Board Chair Nicole Russell and Chief Executive Officer Todd Kyle! Joining us for the celebration are Mayor Brown and Regional Councillors.

Come celebrate the re-opening with us at 11 a.m. and learn more about your library space at the event with branch tours (and potentially get a Brampton Library cookie 🍪- while supplies last 🤭).
