A Facebook Live event! Tune in for our exploration of the BV Fire Department!
Just because we can't travel, doesn't mean we can't see really cool stuff!

We are moving into Stage 2 of Ontario’s Framework for Reopening our Province as of July 3rd! The Province has determined that patrons cannot touch any materials on the shelves (DVDs, books, museum passes, etc.) meaning the library stacks and all meeting spaces are closed.

These new changes will offer limited in-person services including 30-minute time slots on public computers (printing, faxing, scanning) as well as material pick-up at front desk only. You can book public computer appointments by calling 613-628-2400 during open hours, and place holds by calling or online through our catalogue. Drop-in public computer use will be allowed, but we cannot guarantee a spot. A maximum of 7 public persons will be allowed in the library at one time.

Our new modified hours are as follows:
Wednesdays 10-4
Thursdays 11-5
Fridays & Saturdays 10-3

TD Summer Reading Club is Canada’s biggest, bilingual summer reading program for kids of all ages, all interests, and all abilities. This free club celebrates Canadian authors, illustrators and stories, and inspires kids to explore the fun of reading their way. This is key to building a lifelong love of reading!

This year, things are a little bit different! Due to COVID-19, the library is still partially closed, meaning we can't host programs. To keep the club inclusive, we have planned to offer weekly curbside package pick-ups on Wednesdays starting July 6th. The same packages will be available online, too, so if a pick-up isn't do-able, you can print the packages at home. It will be up to you and your family's needs on how you’d like to participate!

If you think your kids would be interested in participating in this slightly different version of Summer Reading Club, please email bee@bonnechereupl.com or call 613.628.2400 before June 30th to register! Check out our TD SRC webpage HERE and the official TD SRC site HERE!

Access eBooks, AudioBooks and a plethora of eResources via our Reference Source page HERE! From career and job searches and health and wellness, to genealogy and resources just for kids, there's something for everyone!

The library doors may be closed but our online services are still available to our patrons. Until we re-open we are offering online membership applications! See the get a library card section of the library services page to learn more!

You can access our BUPL information pamphlet HERE. (This is what you'd get when you sign-up in person!)

Library gardens are open! All kinds of free and edible parishables are popping up! Look for the "Pick Me" signs to know what's ready to pick.

The Little Free Pantry is still open for public use, but for your safety, we ask only a few things:

1. Take what you want, leave what you can.
2. DO NOT add sharp items or substances.
3. Take at your own risk!

Thank you for your cooperation! Stay safe and healthy!
