About the branch
Nestled in historic Hespeler village, the Hespeler Library is a fusion of the old and the new. This 100-year-old Carnegie library is encased in a modern glass structure and boasts a comfortable reading area with a fireplace as well as a spacious and welcoming children’s area. The environmentally responsible building features recycled white oak floors and a ceramic treatment on the glass to reduce sunlight intensity.
Cambridge Public Library supports and inspires its community to explore reading, the arts, innovation, and lifelong learning across five locations and online.
