As the heat builds up, a reminder that all Wellington County Library branches are cooling and clean air centres for our communities.

Look for us on the ClimateSafe Cooling, Warming and Clean Air Spaces Map from Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health and come in to stay cool and hydrated, especially during an extreme heat event.

Let's stay safe this summer!

ClimateSafe Map: Cooling, Warming and Clean Air Spaces The ClimateSafe Map helps residents find publicly accessible spaces that can provide temporary relief during periods of extreme heat, extreme cold, wildfire smoke and poor air quality.

Our first performer of the summer is one of our favourite magicians: Scott Dietrich! His secret ingredient is audience participation nearly 100% of the time.

Zomromcom — Wellington County Library Zomromcom — Dade, Olivia — "When Eden "Edie" Brandstrup attempts to save her sweet, seemingly harmless human neighbor from the first major zombie breach in two decades, she's stunned to be saved by him-and his ridiculously large sword-instead.
