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

To All Community Members,
We would like to inform you about an important development regarding the Merritt Branch located on Hartzel Road. The lease for this branch location expires on March 31, 2025. The landlord has proposed a rent increase and additional restrictions that are both operationally and financially challenging for us.
Currently, the Library, in collaboration with the City, is assessing our options. Please rest assured that we are committed to keeping you informed throughout this process and will provide updates as information becomes available.
We appreciate your understanding and support as we work to ensure the best possible outcome for our community and our library.
Sincerely,
Janice Coles
Board Chair
St. Catharines Public Library Board
