          Branch Details

          The Belgrave Library was built in 1997, and with its cedar exterior, blends beautifully with the local setting. It was renovated in 2021 by Katz Architecture, creating a more prominent entrance, further community rooms, and a small courtyard from the original entranceway. The high ceiling creates a light and spacious feel. The stained-glass windows on display on the children's area were originally housed in the Shire of Sherbrooke offices. Belgrave Library is very much a focal point for the community. The library has an extensive collection of music scores, board games and graphic novels. Adult activities and Storytimes are held regularly. Special Collections
