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.

Ho Ho Ho, the local elves have been busy this year! The Bracebridge Library would like to thank everyone who supported and donated to this year’s Santa for Seniors program. This year, the Library worked with 8 different organizations including: The Pines, James Street Retirement Residence, Muskoka Hills Retirement Villa, Castle Peak, The Friends, The District of Muskoka Seniors Housing, YWCA, and Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare. Thanks to the outstanding people of Muskoka, 213 local seniors received gifts from their wish lists! We are blown away by the generosity of individuals and local businesses who helped to bring some holiday cheer to seniors in need.
“The Santa for Seniors is such an important piece of Muskoka and helps connect people who don’t have much family in the area. Older adults have a bit of extra holiday cheer this season. We are so thankful to the Bracebridge Library for organizing the program and delivering these beautiful gifts to seniors across Muskoka.” – Jennifer Middleton, Seniors Program Information Coordinator at The District of Muskoka.
“This program shows the true meaning of the holidays and brings nothing but joy to the community. Those who donate love participating and look forward to giving back to the community year after year. We truly could never thank our community enough for making this program possible.” – Mckenzie Barnes, Marketing & Communications Coordinator at the Bracebridge Library.
This is the Library’s third year running this program. This year, with everyone’s support, we were able to partner with more organizations and give more gifts to seniors in need than ever before. This program displays the true spirit of Muskoka. Once again, thank you to everyone who participated in Santa for Seniors and helped spread some holiday cheer to the community this year!
