Join us with our friends from EarlyON Dufferin for songs, stories and a craft in the park. 

Meet at Village Green Park, 53 Hewitt Street, at 10 a.m.

Take part in this interactive program that has something for everyone. Sing songs, listen to stories and rhymes, and play games that encourage literacy and learning.

Talking, singing, reading and playing are the key skills and fun ways to help your child get ready to read. Developing early literacy skills makes it easier for children to learn to read once they begin school, and helps to foster a lifelong love of reading and learning. No registration is required.

Recommended for age 5 and under. This is a drop-in program.

This program is also offered on Thursdays at the Mill Street location.

In March and April, Orangeville Public Library is once again hosting the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP). The 2025 free clinic is available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at the Mill Street Library and on Mondays at the Orangeville Seniors Centre. It will run until April 25.

The CVITP program, staffed  by trained volunteers, helps individuals and families e-file their 2024 tax return. From students to seniors, those with a modest income and a simple tax situation are eligible for this service. Find out if you are eligible for the tax program. 

Starting on Monday, March 3:

• Mill Street Library - Walk-in clinic on Tuesdays and Wednesdays - 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. (meet with a volunteer on a first-come, first serve basis). 
• Orangeville Seniors Centre (26 Bythia Street) - Walk-in clinic on Mondays - 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
• Drop-off at the Mill Street Library with a follow-up telephone interview – during Mill Street open hours

Participants need to bring personal identification, all tax slips, rent or property tax receipts, summary of prescriptions, charitable donations, and other related documents.

For the drop-off service, individuals will present ID, sign a consent form, and leave receipts with library staff. A tax volunteer will follow up to conduct a telephone interview. After the tax return is filed online, the original tax receipts will be mailed back to the participant at no charge. The last drop-off date is Friday, April 25.

CVITP is offered with support from the Canada Revenue Agency.
