- King Township Public Library
The King Township Public Library is a public library system that serves King Township, Ontario in Canada. It consists of four branches located at:
* King City
* Nobleton
* Schomberg
* Ansnorveldt
The library rotates certain books through the various branches to ensure all residents in the township have equal access to volumes held.
Collections include government works (e.g - federal budgets), annual reports, and maps. Periodicals and newspapers are archived for a short period of time. The library also maintains township history archives at the King City branch.
The library system offers a number of programs for children and adults, plus language kits and multi-lingual books. A limited selection of music CDs and movie DVDs are available for loan in addition to book circulation.
History
James Whitling Crossley established the first library in King, the Mechanics Institute Library, which opened in 1893 in King City. In 1947, the King Memorial Library was opened, located at Memorial Park in King City. Its collection included about 1000 items, most of which are now in the current King City branch of the King Township Public Library.
In 1930, the Schomberg branch was opened, serving the growing communities in the northeastern portion of the township. The Nobleton branch first opened to the public in 1968, and the Ansnorveldt branch began operation in 1973.[Cite web]
