Parking and Book Drop Access

To accommodate the construction of our new underground parking garage and subsequent new library addition, the small parking lot behind the Main Library is now CLOSED. Information about nearby alternative parking options is available at the library and on our project website.

These options include the adjacent pay-and-display Centre-in-the-Square lot, and some local on-street parking. Short and all-day parking is also available at the nearby Duke & Ontario Garage, City Hall Garage, Kitchener Market Garage, the new parking structure at Charles & Benton Street (sheduled to open in January 2013).

Due to the closure of the Main Library’s back parking lot, the book drop has been RELOCATED to the front Queen Street entrance. The Main Library book drop will only be available when the library is closed. During regular opening hours, customers are asked to return their material inside the library.

For your convenience, library materials can also be returned to any of our four community library locations.
