It's about community, as much as borrowing books and movies

Rosemount Library has always been a place where I can find new "communities" when i needed them most. Back in 2000, when I was a new Mom and on maternity leave, I attended Jennifer's Babes in the Library on Wednesday mornings, where I met and connected with other Moms -- many of whom have remained friends. Now that I'm retired, I find myself once again at Rosemount, to knit on Wednesday afternoons and to write every second Friday afternoon. Today, my library is a place where I can make new friends and feel a deeper connection to my neighbourhood.

I encourage everyone to explore the programs offered at their local branch -- and to speak to the staff if you have an idea for a new way to leverage your library as a community gathering space
