The newly updated Tara Branch of the Bruce County Public Library will hold an open house for the public soon.

On Saturday, January 10 from 10:30 a.m. until 1 p.m., anyone interested can come to the open house and see the updates to the branch. That includes new flooring, shelving, a new circulation desk, and a dedicated children’s area.

The event will feature opening remarks, cake, and refreshments. Children and families can also enjoy face painting by Whyllow’s Whimsies from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

In a media release, the library thanked the Municipality of Arran-Elderslie for providing the new flooring and for their assistance and collaboration during the updates.
