We’re working with Salter Pilon Architects to find creative, cost-effective solutions to the Library’s ongoing space challenges — and we want your input! This study isn’t new; it builds on years of conversations with our community. Our goal is to identify practical ideas that can be implemented now, as well as a longer-term plan for the future.

The Blue Mountains Public Library is one of only three Gallery, Library, Archive, and Museum (GLAM) organizations in Ontario. As you complete this survey, think about the full range of information, cultural, recreational, and educational opportunities we offer.

Libraries are more than books and literacy. They’re about community, connection, ideas, and creativity.

The survey will take about 6 minutes to complete and will be open until 12 pm on Friday, November 7, 2025. Your feedback will help shape the library services for everyone.
