    Civic Centre Resource Library remains open during the parking lot reconstruction project. The parking lot can be accessed by driving around the fenced off areas. We apologize for this inconvenience.

    The entrance from Promenade Circle to the parking lot at Bathurst Clark Resource Library is unavailable due to construction. The parking lot can be accessed from Clark Avenue, though there will be very limited parking available which is reserved for those who require barrier-free access or quick drop off/pickup. Additional parking is available on at the Promenade Mall. We apologize for this inconvenience.
