Hours and Locations

Located in the lower north wing of the main branch adjacent to the Theatre Gallery, the Art Gallery is a free public space that hosts work from local and regional artists. To engage the public with visual storytelling in many art forms and to encourage literacy in these forms of making, the space is to showcase work, but it is also paired with related workshops and book displays.

Located in the upper south wing across from the main customer service desk, Community LINKS is a community information and referral service operated by the Canadian Mental Health Association. Community Links provides direct access to a network that helps people get to the services that they need in the quickest way possible.
