The Wellington County library system is comprised of 13 branches spread around the county, with a central library/headquarters located in Elora. Puslinch is the southernmost branch, serving a community of just over 5,000 residents. Our collection is growing and we can offer, in addition to regular books, talking books (tape or CD), video (VHS or DVD) interactive multimedia, and magazines for children and adults. We have access to all the items in the Wellington County system and we have an excellent delivery system for those who request items not found on our shelves. We can give professional help in finding employment. We also offer internet access to independent researchers. We host a weekly Story Time for children aged 3 to 5 years. It is held on Friday mornings from 10.00 am. - 11.00am. Sessions run for 6 weeks. Phone for details and to register.  The Librarians are Janet Dagenais and Frankie Shaw
