A pivotal community feature is our Owen Sound and North Grey Union Public Library. It is located in a historic building in the downtown core on the shore of the Sydenham River. The library is a renovated Carnegie building dating from 1914 with a 1970s addition.

Aside from thousands of books, this modern facility boasts research documents, magazines, career and skill building courses, a children's play area, computer resource section, eBooks, and many other helpful resources. Visitors can also use WiFi, computers, mobile apps, request materials, and rent rooms for outside functions.

Mission: Building generations of readers.

Vision: The Library respects its legacy, cultivates future opportunities, enriches community life, and inspires personal growth.
