Wow!
August 22 saw a very exciting day of racing out on the water as Barrie Public Library's 7th annual Barrie Dragon Boat Festival took to Kempenfelt Bay. With 49 teams racing and funds being raised for 40 local charities it was a day of marvellous community spirit and camaraderie. We won't know the exact amount of pledges raised until late September, but since its inception in 2003 this Barrie Public Library event has raised more than $925,000 for more than 60 charities alongside your Library. All pledges made to the Library itself go to our Branching Out Capital Campaign fund to build our first Branch Library in south Barrie.

Everyone here at Barrie Public Library is so excited to be ... Branching Out for our community!
