BACKGROUND As part of the process of moving Westmount Branch into its new home in the Southwest multipurpose facility currently under construction, the Library Branch will have a temporary home in the Westmount Shopping Centre from November 14, 2017 through to September 2018. The building and property currently housing the Westmount Branch Library has sold and the new owners will take possession of the property. London Public Library is part of a partnership to build a multipurpose facility in the southwest area of London. Our partners are the City of London and YMCA. Plans are underway for a wonderful library in this new facility. This facility is slated to open in the fall of 2018. Plans, drawings and construction updates for the Southwest Community Centre, YMCA and Library construction project can be found here: www.london.ca/swcc

With your help, we can make sure that every child has a book to call their own. www.lpl.ca/donate

DAY 5 - SPOOKY READS! Happy Halloween! We wrap up our countdown with "The Hatching" by Ezekiel Boone. The first in an apocalyptic trilogy about an ancient species of deadly carnivorous spiders, dormant for more than a thousand years but now they’re back and they want blood. The second book in the trilogy is Skitter, and the third book, Zero Day, will be available in February 2018. Truly terrifying and guaranteed to make your skin crawl.
