Our incredible rooftop "Reading" Garden is located at our Downtown Library. It offers a quiet, tranquil and lovely place to relax and read! The first 45 minutes of this event is dedicated to you and your book, giving you time to enjoy your surroundings and the tranquil environment our rooftop creates. If you wish to stay on, we will finish out the night with an informal mix and mingle where we talk about the Simcoe Reads books featured this year.
