Wellington County Libraries Expand In-Person Services & Museum and Archives Announce Re-Opening Plans
 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - July 19, 2021 

On Friday, as Ontario entered Step 3 of Ontario’s Roadmap to Reopen,  the Wellington County Library expanded capacity limits for in-person services. The Wellington  County Museum and Archives (WCMA) will re-open to the public on Friday, July 23. 

Library patrons are welcome to drop-in to use study spaces and browse the physical collection.  Branch capacity will be limited to permit physical distancing of two metres at all times. All  library branches will continue curbside pick-up service. Patrons are asked to contact their local  branch to make appointments for computer and printer access. 

“With expanded capacity limits, we are able to welcome more patrons back to our libraries,”  said Rebecca Hine, Chief Librarian. “Our curbside pick-up service has been very successful and  will continue throughout the summer for patrons who prefer to use the service.” 

On July 23, the Museum will resume its regular operating hours of 8:30 am to 4:30 pm from  Monday to Friday, and 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm on weekends. The public can call 519.846.0916 to  make an appointment to visit the Archives or drop off donations. 

The WCMA is hosting outdoor summer programmes and events throughout July and August. A  Summer Concert Series will be held every Thursday evening at 7:00 pm until August 12. Canada  at War Day is on July 24, exploring Canada’s military history with live re-enactments of major  military events. Families and children are invited to attend the Mad Science Show on July 21,  and the Wild Ontario Show on July 28. In addition to outdoor events, a new exhibit titled  Animal Gibberish opens July Friday 23. This fun and interactive exhibit uses digital technology  and games to learn how animals communicate with one another.

“We look forward to seeing new and familiar faces back on our grounds and inside our  buildings,” said Jana Burns, Wellington Place Administrator. “We have fantastic summer  programmes and events lined up for residents and visitors of Wellington County to enjoy.”
