Under the 28 day provincial lockdown beginning on December 26, 2020, Kitchener Public Library will remain open for curbside pickup services only.

Curbside pickup will begin on Tuesday, December 29, 2020.

Customers will be able to place items on hold through our catalogue and pick them up when they become available. This service will be available at all five Kitchener Public Library locations.
