Background
Westmount Branch Library is situated in Ward 9 in the heart of a new commercial and residential development. With few recreational facilities in this part of the city, Westmount Branch serves as the cultural and community hub for the neighbourhood. We offer meeting rooms for groups of 4 to 100. Church groups, schools, women’s organizations, local businesses, condo associations, musicians, genealogists, and health providers all use these facilities. This summer we registered 500 children in our Summer Reading Program. We also offer computer programs such as Googling to the Max, storytimes, book clubs, conversation circles, films, and travel talks. One of our unique programs is an Open House for Schools where we invite a local school community – parents, teachers, students and friends – to visit the Library on a Saturday. Our Employment Resource centre staff helps to direct people seeking employment, writing resumes or researching new careers.
Each location has a materials return chute which is open whenever the library is closed.
Parking
Parking is available in the parking lot in front of and beside the library.
