The Youth Advisory Committee was formed to give teens a comfortable place to express their opinions about what the Bracebridge Library is currently doing and what they would like to see the library do in the future.
Committee members gain volunteer hours from participating in the program.
The committee meets every Wednesday from 4:00 - 5:00 p.m. at the Coulson Family Bracebridge Library.
The Visiting Library Service is a free service for some patrons who may be unable to visit the Bracebridge Library in person.
Patrons may request items such as books, audiobooks, DVDs, and magazines, among other materials. They will be delivered to their home at a pre-arranged time.
Staff who help with deliveries are required to undergo a security screening.

Read eight books in 80 days between Friday, June 13 and Friday, September 5 and be entered to win a fabulous prize basket.
Every book you read helps us mark this special milestone, as we reflect on our roots and imagine the future.
Since 2025 marks Bracebridge’s 150th birthday, this year’s reading challenge invites you to explore books that connect with history, whether that’s local, national, or global.
From the stories that shaped Muskoka to tales from around the world, there is no better time to reflect on where we have come from and where we are going. You could read a gripping World War II mystery, a sweeping medieval fantasy, an inspiring memoir, a beloved classic novel, a book about the history of Bracebridge or Muskoka, or any book that connects you to the theme of history and heritage.
The library has plenty of books to match your interests, visit us in person or explore our online catalogue.
