Explore the MLCC Branch: A New Place to Read, Study, and Connect
We are thrilled to announce the grand opening of the MLCC Branch on Tuesday, February 18 at 10:00 am. This brand-new space, inside the Miskin Law Community Complex at 271 Lansdowne St. W., expands library services, offering even more opportunities to read, study, and connect with the community.
Whether you are a student looking for a quiet place to study, a parent raising young readers, a book lover searching for your next great read, or someone who simply enjoys a welcoming space to relax, the MLCC Branch has something for everyone.
Located beside the twin pad arena, it is the perfect stop before or after hockey practice. Pop in with younger children while waiting for older siblings, find a cozy corner to read, or browse our collection for your next great book.
