The Brantford Public Library enhances the quality of life in our diverse community. We invest in valuable experiences, resources, and services, in a welcoming and equitable environment for all.

Brantford Public Library serves a population of approximately 100,000 residents in two locations. Brantford is a community that is rich in natural and cultural heritage, ideally situated within a convenient driving distance to several major Ontario cities. The Library’s strategic priorities are focused on creating positive, individualized customer experiences; increasing the community’s engagement with the Library; and expanding library services and resources to meet current and future community needs.

This is the 37th year the Brantford Public Library is providing our well-established summer Read On program. This program is designed for children in Grades 2 to 6 who need extra help and practice in English, Math, and French. Working out of both our Main and St Paul branches, as assigned, tutors customize each session to fit the individual needs of students. Activities are designed to be fun and engaging to not only improve the reading and math skills of the child but also instill a confidence and desire to learn in an equitable and inclusive way.

The Library is seeking an enthusiastic and committed post-secondary student who has a passion for literacy and helping others. The Read-On Leader assists in administering the Read On program by preparing materials, ordering and organizing supplies, registering children, liaising with teachers in the area, and creating tutoring schedules. Additionally, the Read On Leader works with the manager to develop a comprehensive training plan. During the program weeks, the Leader acts as a tutor, collects and organizes program statistics, liaises with parents as needed, provides mentorship and support to the Read On tutoring team, and communicates regularly with the supervising manager.
