What's the library now? Is the building still there and being used?
I really appreciate the library system in SK. It covers the entire province and my local library card is valid at every library in the province. Check out a book at one library and take it back to another.
Still the Elmira Branch of the Region of Waterloo Library. In my librarian days, I worked for the Wentworth Libraries, a similar regional system that serviced the communities around Hamilton (Stoney Creek, Ancaster, various towns and villages in Glanbrook and Flamborough). It got rolled into Hamilton Public Library as part of amalgamation/restructuring.
I thought you were talking about the London library. Your descriptions fit for it too. I have many good memories of the LPL, especially the Byron branch.
What happened to the old downtown branch? Is the building still there and being used for something?
Vancouver Island has a regional library system everywhere but in Victoria. I like that too. There is also the inter-library loan system which helps you access books from other libraries. I thought most libraries participated in that.
I bet their car is in the garageSomething funny:
A couple is hiking through Germany using a camel as carrier. Residents are calling the police on them.( Germany rural areas- anything unusual will cause people to call the police). Source Berliner Tagesspiegel

I just noticed that the man and the camel seem to be wearing the same brand of shoes..
They have a separate arts library where lots of free creative classes happen (or did), like felting, button-making etc.
Here's an idea. Road trip to very small libraries in your province, take pictures, interview the staff and create a blog. Run with that kids.London has a "maker" area which has some cool stuff. 3D printer for public use and that sort of thing. It's downtown in the main library, of course. My local branch is Masonville and it's a fairly traditional library save for 8 or 10 desktop computers (though some of them are dedicated catalogue terminals or short use to keep them free for catalogue browsing). Ditto East London, the branch near my office, which shares a building with the Y's administrative offices and childcare centre.
I like the older ones in villages run from Victorian houses. They usually have a new addition for wheelchairs. Ever been to Mt Forest? Elora's is nice too.Here's an idea. Road trip to very small libraries in your province, take pictures, interview the staff and create a blog. Run with that kids.
