Oakville Public Library

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oakville Public Library is the public library system for the Town of Oakville, Ontario, Canada. It has 6 branches.

In 1827, Oakville’s first library was established when William Tassie, the town’s first schoolmaster, opened a reading room in the meeting hall located on the site of the current central library. The first use of the name “Oakville Public Library” occurred in 1895. Between the 1860s and the 1960s, the library moved to four other locations in town, only to return to the Navy Street site in 1967 with the opening of the new Centennial complex housing the library and art gallery.
