Our website has a brand new look and we're so happy to have you here with us. Join us for a quick tour and some of the highlights we are so excited to share with you.

Our new website allows visitors to see the availability of our study rooms and lets you book up to one month in advance. Just click your desired room, pick the time and enter some basic information. Bookings will be sent to library staff for approvals before they are accepted.

Built with Accessibility in Mind

Designed to support every member of our community, the new egpl.ca can be navigated easier and faster than ever before. All links have helpful highlights and the whole page can be navigated with the touch of a button. We're also working hard so even our PDF downloads can be read by everyone who will be accessing this site. To see all of our accessibility offerings, visit our dedicated accessibility page.
