    Oakville (OPL) http://www.opl.on.ca

    OPL-Iroquois Branch will close next week for a several months-long renovation.
    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.

    The new Spring/Summer Program Guide for OPL is online: http://www.opl.on.ca/pdfs/guide/2017/SS_17.pdf

    The spring book sale at Oakville's Central branch will be held from May 4-7 (perfect chance to look for older copies of the Lemon-Aid Used car guides). See p. 12 in the Spring guide.

    There are three job postings showing on the OPL site: http://www.opl.on.ca/blog/jobs/

    The Jan/Feb program guide: https://www7.mississauga.ca/document...tsOnJanFeb.pdf

    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?

    Oakville Public Library-the Glen Abbey branch will close on June 3 for renovations.
    https://www.opl.on.ca/blog/glen-abbe...ch-renovation/

    OPL branches will be closed on Friday June 14 for a Staff Professional Development day.

    Parking note for OPL's Central Branch:
    • Because of water covering the road, a portion of Water Street has been closed directly behind the Central Branch from the Lakeshore bridge to the north entrance of the library parking lot until further notice. Customers may access the Water Street parking lot from the north entering via the regular north entrance or the temporary "ramp". Please avoid any areas of the parking lot blocked by caution tape and do not park in spots where parking meters are bagged. Thank you for your cooperation.

    Mississauga library users-welcome to the e-collections of the Hamilton and Burlington library systems!
    As part of the agreement, Mississauga library users could borrow up to 10 items in total from the Hamilton and Burlington electronic collections and place five more titles on hold.
    Mississauga library users would still be permitted to borrow 10 items from their local system, and place 20 titles on hold.

    Looks like the Port Credit branch is closing permanently due to structural issues. Hopefully they are able to find an alternative location soon. If you have holds you can pick them up from the PC Memorial Arena in the meantime.
