London Public Library makes a difference in the lives of each and every member of our community by providing critical support for literacy (both traditional and digital), learning and culture.

Your donation ensures that London Public Library can:

• open our doors wider and reach deeper into our community to serve those who would otherwise not have access to the Library’s resources.
• prepare our community for the skills, technology and information required to fully participate in our changing world.
• enrich lives by providing free access to high quality stories, music, art, research and information.

London Public Library celebrates its 125^th Anniversary on November 26, 2020. Established in 1895, the Library has always sought to meet the demand for library resources through innovative service delivery, high quality collections, and the development of vibrant neighbourhood library branches that serve as vital community hubs. There are now 16 library branches located throughout the City of London, including the recently renovated Central Library in downtown London and the system’s newest library branch, located in the Bostwick Community Centre, YMCA and Library facility.

Library services and resources are also provided online to our community through digital collections and databases, online programs for every age, and virtual support for those learning to read, those learning English and those who need help with homework.

The Library warmly welcomes everyone in our community and provides measurable impacts in the areas of early and adult literacy, mental wellness, information and digital literacy, social connectedness, neighbourhood and community development and cultural capacity. 

Funds raised by London Public Library ensure that the Library can continue to provide much-needed resources, programs and services to our community and allows the Library to enhance and innovate in order to better serve those who most need the Library’s support.
