Chatham-Kent Values Library Services
Chatham-Kent is keeping many library branches closed even though Ontario has entered Phases 1 & 2, which allow libraries to provide curbside pickup, home service, limited on-site services, and online services. Many Municipalities around Ontario have opened their libraries far more broadly than CK. Let Mayor Canniff and Council know that you value library services in Chatham-Kent!
