Join us for a family-friendly, mess-free, art workshop facilitated by visual artist Camille King, as she guides participants in creating a ‘mosaic’ about prominent Black Canadians and events in our history. In partnership with the Canadian Caribbean Association of Halton (CCAH) and the Oakville Public Library, this open studio-style workshop will showcase Afro-Canadian experiences combined with art panels, and then rounded up with a display of the work produced in the session!

Central Branch
Central Branch is the largest of Oakville Public Library’s seven locations. Located in downtown Oakville, it spans three floors of adult and children’s collections, the local and family history collections in the Oakville Room, with spacious meeting and study spaces. Central Branch also serves as the library’s administrative headquarters and shares space with Oakville Galleries. Just steps from Sixteen Mile Creek and Lake Ontario, the branch offers scenic views and a welcoming environment for learning and community connection. With a new facility slated for 2028, the new Central Branch is set to become a landmark building for Downtown Oakville. Guided by community insight, the redesigned library branch will offer flexible and accessible spaces that celebrate Oakville’s history, support lifelong learning, and promote community connections.
