Main Library Temporary Closure

Construction and renovation work on our Central Library project is nearing completion!

In order to accommodate the reconfiguration of our new spaces, the Main Library at 85 Queen Street North will temporarily close on or about March 23, 2014 for approximately 2 months.

For the period of this closure, a temporary library offering selected services will be available for our downtown customers. 

• Located at 607 King Street West (in the plaza at the corner of King St. and Breithaupt St.)
• Open regular library hours, including Sundays from 1 – 5 pm
• Featuring popular collections of books and DVDs for all ages
• Holds pick-up
• Free parking
• No after-hours book drop; but book drop at 85 Queen St. library location will remain open

Our four Community Libraries will remain open as usual during this temporary closure.  In addition, our Forest Heights Library will also be open on Sundays from 1 – 5 pm during the temporary Main Library closure. Library members can borrow and return materials to any Kitchener Public Library location.

We’re almost there!    The reopening of the library following this closure will mark the long-awaited transformation of our old Main Library into our new Central Library.
We want to thank all library users for their patience and support throughout
