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 (October 2005) By Frankie Shaw Libraries throughout Ontario will be celebrating their special Library Week from Oct 17-21, so please, if you have been reading books from the list of Evergreen nominees, drop off your vote at the library during this week. On Wednesday 19th October, from 7.30pm-8.15pm, Richard from Wild Birds Unlimited will be presenting his slide show and talk on Backyard Birdfeeding. He has some useful tips just in time for the winter season. Plan to join us at the library on that evening. Most important news is that we had three winners for our Summer Reading Club draw. The lucky ones are John Muirhead who won the rocket, Luca Samson who won the 20 Questions game, and Dana Berthiaume winner of the Cineplex Odeon gift voucher. Well done all three! We hope you enjoyed your summer books, too! Our new ‘accessible’ doors are now functioning. This will make it much easier to get into the library so there’s no excuse.
