The Region of Waterloo Library and the Township of Woolwich are looking into moving the Bloomingdale library branch to a bigger space at the local community centre in Bloomingdale, Ontario. The proposed move aims to give residents more room for books and services while placing the branch in a municipally owned building.
The current library at 860A Sawmill Road is only about 400 square feet inside the Bloomingdale United Church. Moving to the Bloomingdale Community Centre at 1031 Snyders Flats Road would double the size of the facility to nearly 800 square feet.
A larger branch would allow for more public computers, better Wi-Fi access, and a wider variety of activities for the community. The new location is also expected to make the library easier to get into and use for all visitors.
Residents can share their thoughts by completing an online survey by March 23, 2026. There will also be two in-person meetings at the community centre on March 17, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and March 18, 2026, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
