The Wellington County library system is comprised of 14 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 Thursday 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

Lines from the Library (May 2006) By Frankie Shaw It’s Springtime and everyone knows this sort of moment – the promise of warmth, the raised hope, followed by the ruthless rebuff. You know how it is with an April day, When the sun is out and the wind is still, You’re one month on in the middle of May. But if you so much as dare to speak, A cloud comes over the sunlit arch, A wind comes off a frozen peak, And you’re two months back in the middle of March. ‘There is another sort of day that needs celebrating in song – the day of days when spring at last holds up her face to be kissed, deliberate and unabashed. On that day no wind blows, either in the hills or in the mind, no chill finds the bone. It is a day that can come only in a northern climate, where there has been a long background of frigidity, a long deficiency of sun.’ E.B White ‘One Man’s Meat.’ Books recently added to our shelves Non-Fiction Bach, David.
