The new pollinator garden at Central Library is taking shape! Community members got their hands dirty to help create a vibrant, welcoming space for everyone. 💙

The planting wraps up today while the new paving stones are set to arrive early next week. Stay tuned for more updates as this special community space continues to bloom.

We couldn't have tackled this new project without our amazing partners at the Central Lake Ontario Conversation Authority.

🐝 Bee Part of Something Good 🌼
Help us put down roots at the Central Library! In partnership with the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority, we’re creating a new pollinator garden and we’d love your help. The garden was prepared in spring and now it's time to plant!

Volunteers of all ages and abilities are welcome. Light refreshments will be provided. Interested? Visit https://www.cloca.com/event-details/pollinator-garden-planting

Made possible with funding from the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation.

Going somewhere? Take a story with you. 🎉Your Library card can turn your commute into reading time. Borrow an eAudiobook from the Library and listen wherever your day takes you, from the GO train to the walking trail to the kitchen sink. Instead of an expensive streaming service, use ours!

🎉 And the winner is... Sarabeth’s Garage! 🎉
The votes are in, and Sarabeth’s Garage by Melanie Florence, illustrated by Nadia Alam, has been crowned the CBC Kids Reads 2026 champion!

The winning book was chosen by an audience of kids and families right here in Whitby, during a special event filmed at our Central Library. We loved being part of this celebration of Canadian children’s books, young readers, and the stories that bring us together.

CBC Kids Reads airs October 19 at 9:00 a.m. on CBC TV with the big reveal at 9:40 a.m. 🤩Who will win from the top five Canadian shortlisted children’s books?

Did you spot the ball counting in the video? Kids and families dropped balls through a shoot and those bright balls represented one vote each. The votes have been counted with the big winner under wraps for now!

Shot on location at the Whitby Central library in mid-September, this annual tradition from the CBC is sure to delight our local audience with the Library taking centre stage.💙
