OPL-Iroquois Branch will close next week for a several months-long renovation.
Quote:
The branch will be closed starting Monday January 23, 2017, reopening in early July. Temporary services will be available within the Iroquois Ridge Community Centre.Why is Iroquois Ridge Branch being renovated?
- Iroquois Ridge is being renovated as part of the Strategic Direction identified in the Strategic Plan: to transform our virtual and physical spaces to encourage creativity, collaboration, and discovery.
- Renovations will allow for the reconfiguration of space, an enlarged quiet study room, upgraded public access computers, group work and meeting space and the introduction of a Creation Zone to be constructed within library walls.

If you know a Mississauga resident that is taking a post-secondary library sciences program, the Friends of the Library sponsor the Jim Wilde Education Award. Don't see the application or details anywhere but maybe there is still a chance to qualify for the 2017 award?
