Dusty Jackets
Now Open

FOPLA has just opened a new self-serve location. Dusty Jackets opened this month within the Elmvale Acres library branch.

This new location is now open during regular library hours. An official opening is being planned and details are soon to follow.

Please Note:

The Bookworm will be closed due to renovations of the Cumberland Branch until Mid-April.

As it will take some time to re-stock after completion, clients are encouraged to phone ahead after April 15 to confirm the Bookworm is operating. You can reach the Bookworm at
613-580-2424 Ex. 39896.

The Bookworm volunteers thank you for your patience and encourage you to visit one of our many other locations to pick-up a great read for a great price in support of a great cause (your library).
