Welcome to the Halton Hills Public Library!
We have proudly served our community for more than a century. The Georgetown Public Library was founded in 1895. Three years later, the Acton Public Library opened its doors. The two libraries operated separately until 1974 when they merged and became the Halton Hills Public Library. Visit our History page to explore the Library's long history in Halton Hills.
