The Ancaster Branch first opened in 1955. The branch moved several times over the following decade. The library arrived at its current location on Wilson Street in 1967 as a Centennial project. Completely renovated in 2006, the branch offers materials and programming for children, teens and adults.
The Ancaster Branch also has a Seed Library provided in partnership with Green Venture. Visit the Ancaster Branch to select seeds, find information about gardening and HPL programs, and harvest seeds to replenish the Seed Library.
