The Brantford Public Library challenges you to read diverse books this fall!

Explore reading challenges to discover new characters, stories and authors.  Join the reading challenge at brantfordlibrary.readsquared.com or using our ReadSquared app. Track each challenge you complete and earn points towards a prize draw for completing challenges.

Need help finding books to read? We've created book bundles that are available at both our Main and St. Paul Branches.

We'll also post monthly videos from Canadian authors on our Brantford Reads Diverse webpage. In these videos, authors will read from their books, discuss their writing process, and recommend reads.

Kids, families and teens are welcome to join the challenge. The Reading Challenge runs from September 13 to November 30.

Our Book a Librarian program provides you with one-hour of one-on-one help from Library staff. 
During this session, our staff can help you with:

• Using the Internet
• Using online databases
• Accessing our digital collection and online tools
• Searching and using our online catalogue
• Finding books
• Research tips
• Family history research

One-on-one sessions will be held at our Main Branch.

Note:  Library staff are unable to assist with troubleshooting personal computers/laptops, installing software, typing documents and forms and online purchases.

Want to create quality videos that impress your audience?  Adam Hislop of Atomic Spark will share some tips and techniques to help you shoot better videos.  Learn about framing your shot, lighting and some specific ideas for using a GoPro camera.
