The Town of Carleton Place has contracted Thomas Cavanagh Construction Ltd. to complete the rehabilitation of the library parking lot, beginning Tuesday, September 3. Please note that no parking will be available in the lot while it is under construction.

Additionally, a third space has been designated on Beckwith Street specifically for curbside pickup of library holds. To use this service, call or text 613-451-2554 with your name, and library staff will bring your holds to you.
