Community Outreach
Bookmobile
A Community Library On Wheels
In April 2021 we proudly unveiled our new Bookmobile. Starting with a decommissioned rescue truck from the fire department, donated by council, we wrapped it in colourful graphics and converted the inside into a full-service library on wheels.
The purpose of the bookmobile is to bring the library to the community. You will find it at community events and gatherings throughout town between April and October, and the annual Santa Claus Parade.
For the 2024 season, we’re transitioning to a free book giveaway model – that’s right, a free book with every visit! Whether you’re an avid reader or just starting your literary journey, the Bookmobile offers literary treasures to take home at no charge. Plus, enjoy free Wi-Fi and a cozy lounge area to relax and dive into the world of books at our stops (where signal is available).
Do you need a library card to borrow Bookmobile items?
Yes, a library card is needed to borrow items. Don’t have a card? No problem; we can easily set you up with a membership on-site. All you need to provide is proof of your Wasaga Beach address.
Little Free Libraries
Looking for other ways to borrow books? There are six Little Free Library Bookhouses set up throughout the community where you can take a book or leave a book free of charge.
Storybook Trails
Wasaga Beach Public Library’s Storybook Trails are designed to get families excited about being active, exploring the outdoors, and reading together.
The library has two trails to provide residents and visitors with alternative walking and reading routes. The books featured on the Storybook Trails will be periodically changed so that people are encouraged to return for a new adventure.
