Drop in to the Pickering Library’s Outdoor Reading Room.

There’s nothing quite like sitting outside in the summer and reading a good book; that’s why your Library will be offering an Outdoor Reading Room this summer. For three Monday afternoons in July and August, you can join the Pickering Public Library out in the gazebo in the Esplanade Park, where staff will have a collection of summer reads that clients can check out and take home as well as chairs for those who want to sit in the shade and read.
