The Waterford branch of the Norfolk County Public Library in Waterford, Ontario, is closed following water damage from a frozen pipe. The branch shut down on January 30, 2026, and is expected to remain closed while crews clean up the facility and complete repairs.
According to Norfolk County officials, the building will be closed to the public until at least February 3, 2026. This closure means local residents cannot access high-speed internet, borrow physical books, or attend community events at this location for the next few days (digital library services remain available system-wide).
Patrons who need library services or have books to pick up are being asked to visit other nearby branches in the system. Norfolk County Public Library (NCPL) suggests using the branches in Delhi, Port Dover, Port Rowan, or Simcoe while the Waterford building is being repaired.
Residents with questions about their library accounts or items they currently have on hold can contact the Simcoe branch at 519-426-3506 (main line). More information about branch hours and locations can be found through 211 Ontario or the library’s official website.
