The Blue Mountains Public Library, L.E Shore branch

The Leonard E. Shore Memorial Library opened its doors on Dec. 2, 1995, replacing the Thornbury Public Library and the Township of Collingwood Public Library. The library is all on a single floor, focusing on a central garden courtyard. The high-arched ceilings and many windows contribute to a feeling of space and the corner fireplace creates a cozy place to curl up with a good book.
