The Mississauga Library System, or Mississauga Library, is the public library system for the city of Mississauga, Ontario. The system has 18 branches, consisting of the Hazel McCallion Central Library and 17 smaller neighbourhood libraries. The library system eliminated late fees in 2022.[3]
Central Library
[edit | edit source]
The Hazel McCallion Central Library (commonly shortened to Central Library) is located in the city centre at 301 Burnhamthorpe Road West, adjacent to the Mississauga Civic Centre. It is the largest branch of the Mississauga Library System, containing four floors of materials and a further floor for silent study, and has functioned as the main library for the system since its opening in 1991 as the Mississauga Central Library.[4]
The Central Library closed for extensive renovations during the COVID-19 pandemic. The city announced on 10 February 2021 that the library would officially be renamed to honour the centennial birthday of Mississauga's longest-serving mayor, Hazel McCallion.[5][6] The Hazel McCallion Central Library was reopened to the public on December 19, 2023 with limited hours before its official grand reopening on February 3, 2024.[7][8]
