Downtown Branch

Reading Garden

In celebration of our Simcoe Reads Book - How to Find Your Calm, come with your very best garden party hat to enjoy the fun on our rooftop patio.

At our garden party, we invite you to come and Find your Calm Your Mind while enjoying: 

  • A lovey garden oasis
  • A fun musical interlude with a barbershop quartet
  • A "who has the fanciest garden hat" competition
  • Games and more!!

* The event will move inside if the weather isn't in our favour that day.


Each year, 7 libraries in Simcoe County select a local Champion and book they believe everyone in Simcoe County should read. Our selection this year is How to Calm Your Mind: Finding Presence and Productivity in Anxious Times by Chris Bailey. "How to Calm Your Mind" is a crucial guide to achieving calm, navigating anxiety, and staving off burnout. It explains how our digital world drains us, and what we can do to abate the hidden sources of stress that burden our days.

The health and safety of our participants and staff is our top priority, please review our Stay Safe Guidelines.
