Oxford Ready to Open Its Long-awaited Library

The new library in Oxford opens tomorrow.

It has been more than a year since the Water Street location was closed due to building safety issues.

The new facility, in the former Oxford Journal Building, shares space with a fitness gym on Rideau Street, just behind Oxford Heritage Square.

Renovations were completed over the winter and shelves now hold a new collection of books and materials.

Tomorrow’s opening is considered a soft launch. The chief librarian, Denise Corey, says a grand opening is planned for later when public health restrictions are somewhat more relaxed.
