Love Your Library
We all love our libraries, but we want to know why. This February, join in the conversation. Whether it’s a favourite program, book, or staff member, we want to hear about why you love your library. You will find paper hearts available at each branch where you can share how the library makes your world a better place. (Wednesday, Feb. 1 to Saturday, Feb. 18. All branches.)
February Blues Festival
As part of Innisfil’s Winter Weekends, the 24th annual February Blues Festival brings one of the finest musicians in Toronto to Innisfil.
