Library Service Updates
As of March 16, all branches of the Grey Highlands Public Library will be CLOSED until further notice as a preventative measure to minimize the possible spread of COVID-19. All programs, events and room rentals are also CANCELLED. We will continue to provide updates on our website/Facebook. It is unknown when we may be open to the public, therefore we will not be charging fines at this time.
