June 24 will be the last day of service at the Caledon Public Library's (CPL) current Caledon East branch, which is located inside Robert F. Hall Catholic Secondary School (RFH). The new Caledon East CPL branch will be inside the Caledon East Community Complex (6215 Old Church Road). In a June 14 media release, CPL CEO and Chief Librarian Colleen Lipp said the CPL is grateful for a long-lasting partnership with the Dufferin Peel Catholic District School Board and RFH.  “The shared branch in RFH was instrumental to CPL's early efforts to serve the Caledon East community,” said Lipp. “We expect that this new branch will be a destination for students of all ages outside of school hours.” The new Caledon East branch of the CPL will be home to the Cory Trépanier Creativity Studio, a space dedicated to emerging technologies and tools that will aid Caledon residents in their creative efforts. The branch will be larger than the current one and also offers residents full-service hours.  The drop box at the current RFH branch will be available until July 2, and on July 3, the drop box will open at the new branch.  The Caledon East Community Complex will open on Sept. 5 when its renovations are complete.  Lipp said she's excited to be able to offer Caledon residents a brand-new library branch later this year. In the meantime, she encouraged residents to visit one of the CPL's six other branches, especially the Margaret Dunn Valleywood branch.  “(It) has been reimagined into a space offering new and innovative services and technologies, including a makerspace and recording studio as well as spaces for working, learning, and meeting,” said Lipp.  --------------------------------------------------- Images: --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Post date: 2023-06-21 17:09:25 Post date GMT: 2023-06-21 21:09:25 Post modified date: 2023-06-21 17:09:28 Post modified date GMT: 2023-06-21 21:09:28 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Export of Post and Page as text file has been powered by [ Universal Post Manager ] plugin from www.gconverters.com
