OPEN UP A WORLD OF
POSSIBILITY
Summer arrives with sun-filled days and warm evenings
that offer free time to step outside our daily routines and
explore new projects.
These explorations are unique for each person; from the
homeowner pursuing a backyard landscaping plan, to the
start-up launching their business or the dedicated summer
research student, we all require guidance and access to
information on our journey to expand our lives.
Opening up a world of possibility is one of the Library’s
primary goals. Starting June 1, we are offering
memberships to a wider audience to provide access to essential materials and services. We invite non-residents
who work or study within the City of Barrie to explore the advantages of being a Library member.
Your free library card will provide access to books, online courses, and our Digital Library - all the tools
required to activate innovation and advance your goals.
Spark a summer of learning – become a member and belong to a community of growth-minded people living
life to the fullest!
Lauren Jessop, CEO, Barrie Public Library

wherever summer takes you.
The club is designed for kids aged 3 to 12 years old and
is offered in English or French (when bilingual staff are
available). Explore special programs, creature features,
scavenger hunts, crafts and more!

sweet treat
• Read 4 books and win a treasure chest prize
