Sherwood Branch Library Renovation The Sherwood Branch of the London Public Library has been welcoming people for more than 40 years. Renovations have begun to update the facility and create more welcoming spaces to gather and collaborate. New areas for youth and families will encourage creativity, while expanded program rooms and meeting spaces will support learning and connection for all ages. The library will be more energy-efficient and accessible. “This renovation is about restoration and opportunity,” said Ward 7 Councillor Corrine Rahman. “It’s about creating a space where families, library patrons, and staff can come together, engage, and connect. I think about the kids who will develop a love for books here, the students who will study and connect with friends, and the incredible ideas that will bubble up from the conversations that happen in this space. It’s truly inspiring to imagine the future of this branch.” Mayor Josh Morgan shared his excitement as well, saying, “The Sherwood branch is my home branch. It’s where I brought my kids to learn to read and where we joined programs as a family. This library is a hub for youth to meet friends, learn skills, and grow as leaders. The renovation will mean so much to this community and beyond.”
During the renovation, a pop-up library will offer some library services, Tuesdays 9 am to 9 pm and Wednesday to Saturday from 9 am to 5 pm. The library is scheduled to reopen by Fall 2025. Learn more and get updates at www.lpl.ca
Are you planning a road trip for March break? Consider these travel tips before leaving.
Before hitting the road, it’s crucial to make sure your car is dependable. While dealing with a breakdown on your daily drive is frustrating, being stuck in an isolated area can be far worse. To prevent this situation, carry out some basic maintenance checks prior to your trip. Begin by examining the six key fluids in your vehicle: engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, and windshield washer fluid. Take into account the distance you’ve traveled since your last service and the length of your upcoming journey to identify which fluids may need topping up. If your trip coincides with a scheduled service, it’s wise to take care of it in advance. Also, check your tire pressure and consider rotating the tires, ensure the brakes are functioning well, inspect all belts and hoses, replace the cabin and engine air filters for better air quality, and confirm that all lights are operational. By following these steps, you can minimize the risk of car issues and concentrate on enjoying your adventure and creating lasting memories.
