Your loved one was unique, and you want to celebrate their life in an equally special way.

Kitchener Public Library offers a meaningful place to host a Memorial or Celebration of Life, particularly if the person you've lost loved to read, learn and continuously grow. If "community" was a big part of who they were and they believed in constantly striving for more, the library is the perfect venue to celebrate their memories.

A Memorial Service or Celebration of Life Ceremony at the library means a warm and inviting space for friends and family to mourn while taking the first steps on the road to healing. Connect with your loved ones, share memories, read excerpts from their favourite book or cherished poem. The possibilities are endless for how you want to honour your loved one here. And if you're not sure where to start, our team is here to help you along the way.
