Central Library Update

Starting Monday March 3, the City of St. Catharines' underground parking garage at the Central Library will only be open during library hours and the underground garage book return will be permanently closed. Looking to return your materials after hours? We're excited to offer a new 24-hour return bin located on Carlisle Street. 

A Message from St. Catharines Public Library Board

To all community members,

We are pleased to announce that the Merritt Branch, currently situated at 149 Hartzel Road, will be relocating to the Pen Centre at 221 Glendale Avenue.

After an extensive search for a new location, we are confident that the Niagara Pen Centre will offer a wonderful space for the community to continue enjoying their local library.

As we work together with the Pen Centre, the City, and our contractor to establish the new home for the Merritt Branch, we are dedicated to keeping our community informed. You can follow our progress on our project website here: https://www.myscpl.ca/merritt-updates.

Additionally, the library is investigating the possibility of hold pick up service in the Hartzel Road neighbourhood. We look forward to sharing more details with you shortly.

Sincerely,

Janice Coles
Board Chair 
St. Catharines Public Library Board
