Paisley Branch Moves to Community Centre

Bruce County Public Library is excited to announce the move of its well-loved Paisley Branch. The Branch will relocate to a bright and fully accessible location within the Paisley Community Centre, located at 391 Queen St. West. The new space allows BCPL to offer an enhanced library experience for all patrons, including a designated Children's area and a fresh collection of titles. The current Paisley Branch will be closed to the public starting Sunday, June 30.

In preparation for this transition, BCPL conducted a community survey. The feedback gathered helped guide the new hours of operation and branch priorities. BCPL is grateful for the community input that helped shape the new and improved Branch environment.

Key to the renovation was the support from the municipality of Arran-Elderslie, and the funding they were able to secure to complete the second story renovations and install an elevator in the Paisley Community Centre, creating a fully accessible space. This ensures that all members of the public can access the Library with ease.

Total municipal funding for renovations for the library, a multi-use space on the second floor, and the elevator was $585,000, including provincial funding support of $218,000.

"The Library Board is thrilled to have a newly renovated, fully accessible space to better serve the Paisley community. Deep appreciation goes out to municipal staff who aided throughout the project. We invite everyone to visit and experience the revitalized location," said Board Chair Mark Goetz.

BCPL invites everyone to join them in celebrating the grand opening of the new Paisley Branch on Friday, July 12, running from 9:30 AM until 2:00 PM. Stop by and discover all the wonderful changes that will help to serve you.

Bruce County Public Library is committed to its role as a trusted community connector, digital community facilitator and community sharing place. Consisting of 17 Branches and a Bookmobile BCPL provides access to information, resources, and programs throughout Bruce County.
