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.

Kids and families can drop-in to our Main Branch for hands on activities and explore challenges with science, technology, engineering, art and math. A great chance for kids to challenge their brains and think critically and creatively. 

Come create a painted sign using a stencil created with the Silhouette Cameo electronic cutter! Cutters allow you to design and cut precise shapes from paper, vinyl, fabric and other thin crafting materials. Learn why it's a favoured tool for making cards, crafts, personalized stickers of various styles and sizes, and more.

This program is drop-in, no registration required. All workshop materials will be provided while supplies last.

Learn more about using the Silhouette Cameo electronic cutter (and other crafting resources) at the Brantford Public Library here.

At the Launch Pad we believe that parents are a child’s first and most important teachers. We know that children learn best through play and we follow the research of the late Dr. Fraser Mustard, that the first six years of life set the stage for lifelong learning, health, behaviour and well-being.

Kids Can Fly is excited to partner with Brantford Public Library to offer our Launch Pad early literacy and play experience on site. Join Jane each Wednesday at 10:00 am for songs, stories and activities for this drop-in program. No registration is required but numbers are limited. Program is appropriate for ages 12 months to 4 years.

In this weekly storytime hosted every Wednesday, preschoolers will develop a love for reading by learning easy rhymes, repeating phrases, exploring story props, and strengthening comprehension, together! Books from our collection will be carefully selected to help bring the learning home.
