Map & Directions

In the early 1980s, the Niagara Falls Public Library Board identified that the southwest area of the City would require a branch library in the future. A southwest branch library was included in the City's 1991 Development Charges study and in the City of Niagara Falls Capital Budget for 1999-2003.

The site at Montrose Road and McLeod Road was selected by City Council for the Community Centre on August 13, 2001 and in April 2002 City Council confirmed its desire to have a branch library as part of the Centre. Ground Breaking Ceremonies took place on October 22, 2003.

The 7865 square foot Branch Library is just one tenant of the multi purpose facility and opening day was September 10 2005. The large and airy library is located on the ground floor just off the lobby entrance and is a welcome addition to residents of this part of the city. Capital budget for the branch was $500,000 for shelving, furniture, computers and other equipment and $889,000 for books, magazines and other non-print material. A total of more than 40,000 items are available for loan.
