Milton Public Library's Beaty Branch to Close Temporarily for a Major Renovation

One of Milton's library branches is getting a makeover, and patrons will see some temporary changes. The Milton Public Library says its Beaty Branch will close for regular services for about two weeks this fall as crews begin a phased renovation that will add new spaces.

What Happened

The branch will be fully closed for regular services from Tuesday, October 27 to Tuesday, November 10 while crews install a protective wall and carry out major demolition. It then reopens with limited services on Wednesday, November 11.

During the limited-service period, customer service, most of the collection, printing, computers, Wi-Fi and some study and work space will be available, while the quiet and group study rooms, programming and the children's activity area remain closed. The children's area closes after October 17 and is scheduled to reopen February 3, 2027.

Key Details

• Beaty Branch is fully closed for regular service October 27 to November 10, 2026.

• Limited services resume November 11 (customer service, most of the collection, printing, computers, Wi-Fi, some work space).

• The children's area closes after October 17 and is set to reopen February 3, 2027.

• A new Innovation Hive is coming, with 3D printers, a laser cutter, sewing and embroidery machines, a vinyl printer/cutter, an audio booth, editing computers and a large-format printer; a soft opening is planned for March.

• During the closure, full service and returns are available at the Main Library (1010 Main Street East) and Sherwood Branch (6355 Main Street West).

• Digital collections and online services stay available throughout.

• Updates and FAQs are posted at beinspired.ca/beaty-renovation.

Community Impact

The temporary disruption comes with a payoff: refreshed children's space and a new technology-and-creativity hub that Milton residents will be able to use once construction wraps. In the meantime, the Main and Sherwood branches can cover full service.

Families who rely on the Beaty children's area will want to note the longer timeline for that space.

Background

The Milton Public Library operates several branches across town and regularly invests in upgrades. The Beaty project is being carried out in phases through the fall and into early 2027.
