WPL Community Closet

Everyone Welcome

About the Program

Join us at the Main Library for another exciting WPL Community Closet event, where you can "shop" at our free thrift store. Everything is free, you do not need a library card (although we think it's a great thing to have!) and the clothing collection is donated by the community for the community. Various sizes are available and organized by rack.

This idea was thought of and brought to fruition by the Teen Volunteers of the Roots & Shoots Committee thanks to a grant from the Jane Goodall Institute, supported by Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada Inc. Learn more about related programs and community initiatives on our Roots and Shoots page.

Everyone is welcome to visit our Community Closet, children under the age of 10 must be accompanied by an adult.
