London Public Library Completes Renovation
After months of anticipation, we’re excited to share that Sherwood Branch Library has officially reopened!
For more than 40 years, Sherwood has been a welcoming beacon in London’s northwest. Each year, over 150,000 people walk through its doors, connecting over a shared love of reading. Thanks to support from generous donors, we’ve been able to reimagine this well-loved branch and create a refreshed space designed especially for you.
This transformation was all about meeting the needs of our community. Whether you want to gather with your family or friends, discover something new, or enjoy a quiet corner to read or study, Sherwood now has more space, light, and opportunities than ever before.
The community will discover:
- A bright, welcoming entrance that opens directly into the Mall
- A large, playful and interactive Children's area, featuring a Workshop, low shelves and comfortable seating.
- Larger, accessible multi-purpose meeting rooms
- Rooms equipped for studying and meeting in small groups
- Computer stations and laptop bars for studying and working
- Expanded program and meeting spaces for all ages
- A versatile lounge area
- A room just for youth
- Greater energy efficiency and natural lighting
- Improved sightlines for safety and security
- Additional technology in study and meeting rooms, and places to plug in
- An outdoor book return chute that faces the back parking lot!
While the branch is now open, we’re still putting the finishing touches on the space. The full transformation will be revealed at our Grand Reopening Celebration on Saturday, October 4 from 11am–4pm. Drop by for a photo booth and free, fun activities for all ages as we celebrate this exciting new chapter together.
Come find your next great read, join a program, or find your new favourite spot. Sherwood Branch Library is ready to be rediscovered and we can’t wait to welcome you back!
