The Thorold Public Library is a building in Thorold, Ontario, located on 14 Ormond Street North.[1]
History
In 2020, Thorold's city council considered creating an additional branch to the Canada Games Park but ultimately decided against it due to plans to expand the current building. These renovations are expected to cost somewhere between six and eight million dollars. Plans for south of the city, which was deemed to be a more suitable location, were discussed but with no definitive plans.[2]
In 2022, the library stopped issuing fines to patrons in order to improve access for those experiencing financial difficulties.[3] In 2023, patrons of the library borrowed 60,621 physical items. The library also offers access to laptops and internet hotspots. Library patrons may also borrow items in other libraries through the Libraries in Niagara Co-operative program.[4]
