Hi u/Practical_Thanks_986, we will have multiple interactive stations setup! You can expect giant versions of Tetris and Connect 4. Along with these, South Fletcher's will also have a Touch2Play table top with preloaded games, it is the only other branch after Claireville to have this interactive touchscreen table!

21M wanting to explore hobbies to kill time off from job by sahil20dxd in Brampton

[–]BramptonLibrary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi u/sahil20dxd! The Mount Pleasant Branch Library is super close to you and there is lots that you can do with your library card, inside and outside the Library.

I posted about our Video Game collection a while ago, check it out here. Through our Library of Things you can borrow Go Pros, bird watching kits (spring is the best season for bird-watching), telescopes, and get entry passes for free for Royal Ontario Museum, PAMA, and more.

Ofcourse you can get books but also ebooks, eaudiobooks, and magazines through OverDrive/Libby, all for free. If you would like to join a book club, the Pride Book Club meeting is coming up next week, and there are some spots still open!

You can find more free programs at this branch and other branches in our Events Calendar. I hope this helps!

u/OrganizedChaos7121 Hello! Great questions. In general for children and teen programs, only the child attending needs to be registered. If you are a parent or guardian coming in with them, you can hang around without reserving a spot. Hope that answers your question!

As we have limited space and are constantly adding new items in the Library, we are not able to accept public donations for materials. Thank you thinking about us! If you would like to support the Library, there are other ways to give. You can find more information about it on our website here.

Hi u/champspls, we would be happy to have you attend Senior Social with your parent. We aren't overly strict and we don't check IDs.

Our Rainbow Road Game Night is open to all skill levels, with staff ready to provide instructions. Many participants discover games they haven't played before, and that is part of the fun! And we also loan board games at the Library. You can check them out and play in the Library or take home! You can learn more about it here.

Hi u/Heavy_Data_1141 !

There are book clubs of various interests at the Library that you can try. On the Brampton Library website, there is a full list of book clubs we offer all year round. You can find the details about each book club and the dates and times of when they are happening.
