The Main Library on Queen Street is one of the city’s busiest services, averaging over 1,000 visits per day. You have told us you like this location and the services we offer. We can make the Main Library even better by renovating and expanding.
With your support we can transform this 46 year old building and create a special destination in this city. Imagine a place with:
- Expanded collections of books, CDs and DVDs
- More foreign language resources for new Canadians
- Three times as many computers for accessing information
- Free wireless access for laptops users
- Comfortable areas to sit, read or study
- Group study rooms and a unique space for teens
- A children’s discovery area and storytime room
- A café, art displays, lectures and cultural events
- Environmentally friendly, green building measures
- The same great staff to assist you
All this and more could be available at the Main Library. In May the Kitchener Public Library Board will ask City Council to approve funds that have been set aside for enhancing the Main Library. Your support will be essential.
Help us keep pace with community, cultural and technological changes. Join us at our public meetings. Visit our web site. Let Council know Kitchener needs an enhanced central library.
Why is a renovation/expansion necessary?

 Overcrowded collection with limited room to grow  Inadequate facilities for the storage of archival collections  High shelves with narrow aisles create accessibility challenges  Insufficient computer terminals to meet increasing demand |
