I believe libraries can transform lives.
Today’s libraries are innovative social
hubs for all kinds of learning ranging
from coding and adulting classes to
woodworking workshops to early literacy
programs.
It is an honour to work with a dedicated
Library Board, a supportive community
and a talented team of employees who
are the heart of a learning organization.
I am looking forward to exciting things
ahead!

From the audited Financial statements of the City of Pickering
Public Library Board, December 31, 2016.
Dear Pickering Residents:
For several years, the Library Board has informed
the community that the expansion of the Central
Library is overdue. Our growing community not
only needs a bigger library, they need a Library that
will meet the needs of the next generation of
Pickering residents.
The next generation reads, thinks, and learns
books; facilitates individual and group productivity,
through services such as Makerspaces; supports
the development of 21st century competencies;
and provides inspiring public space in which
residents of all backgrounds can read and learn
together.
elements of innovation into our library system with
limited funding – such as a new reading garden at the
George Ashe Library, collaboration rooms at the Central
Library, and technology programming for all ages, but
this is not enough. The Library Board has seen
examples of well supported libraries around the world
that have transformed and energized their
communities with inspiring spaces. Our community
and the next generation of library users deserve such a
library. It is time to make it happen.
Sincerely,
John Sabean,
Pickering Library Board Chair

Your Pickering Public Library Board
Message From the Board Chair
For several years, the Library Board has informed the
community that the expansion of the Central Library is
overdue. In 2018, the Library was pleased to have funds for
a Central Library included in the most recent Development
Charges Study and were excited by the vision of a brand
new Central Library included in the City Centre.
As the Board has said repeatedly, this will not be simply
a bigger library, it will be a different type of library – a
Library for the Next Generation. The next generation reads,
thinks, and learns differently, so a library that will meet their
needs must be different. A library that: lends more than
books; facilitates individual and group productivity through
services such as Maker Spaces; supports the development
of 21st century competencies; and provides inspiring
public space that brings residents of all backgrounds
together.
That said, I want to assure my fellow boomers, that
while our new Library will meet the needs of the Next
Generation, it will ALSO meet the needs of boomers –
those who value libraries primarily for its excellent
collections and quiet spaces. I look forward to seeing
what the next chapter of the Pickering Public Library
Story will reveal.
Sincerely,
John Sabean

Meetingminutesareavailableonline.Contacttheboardatboard@picnet.org. From the audited Financial statements of the City of Pickering Public Library Board, December 31, 2016. Dear Pickering Residents: For several years, the Library Board has informed the community that the expansion of the Central Library is overdue. Our growing community not only needs a bigger library, they need a Library that will meet the needs of the next generation of Pickering residents. The next generation reads, thinks, and learns books; facilitates individual and group productivity, through services such as Makerspaces; supports the development of 21st century competencies; and provides inspiring public space in which residents of all backgrounds can read and learn together. elements of innovation into our library system with limited funding – such as a new reading garden at the George Ashe Library, collaboration rooms at the Central Library, and technology programming for all ages, but this is not enough. The Library Board has seen examples of well supported libraries around the world that have transformed and energized their communities with inspiring spaces. Our community and the next generation of library users deserve such a library. It is time to make it happen. Sincerely, John Sabean, Pickering Library Board Chair Message from the Board Chair Total: $6,076,819 Fees & Other Receipts $176,500 Federal Support $6,865 Provincial Support $207,425 Municipal Support $5,686,029 “I think it is safe to say that the more skilled workers and educated people there are in your community, city, province, country, the better such as Pickering Public Library and resources it has available to the community is playing a big role in improving our community.” -Why I Love the Library campaign submission Your Pickering Public Library Board John Sabean Ajay Vashisht Mary K Anderson Shashi Bhatia Ruvette Coelho Councillor Ian Cumming Doodnauth Sharma Councillor Maurice Brenner Sarah Sheehy Irene Thomaidis Your Pickering Public Library Board Message From the Board Chair For several years, the Library Board has informed the community that the expansion of the Central Library is overdue. In 2018, the Library was pleased to have funds for a Central Library included in the most recent Development Charges Study and were excited by the vision of a brand new Central Library included in the City Centre. As the Board has said repeatedly, this will not be simply a bigger library, it will be a different type of library – a Library for the Next Generation. The next generation reads, thinks, and learns differently, so a library that will meet their needs must be different. A library that: lends more than books; facilitates individual and group productivity through services such as Maker Spaces; supports the development of 21st century competencies; and provides inspiring public space that brings residents of all backgrounds together. That said, I want to assure my fellow boomers, that while our new Library will meet the needs of the Next Generation, it will ALSO meet the needs of boomers – those who value libraries primarily for its excellent collections and quiet spaces. I look forward to seeing what the next chapter of the Pickering Public Library Story will reveal.
