Pen Pals

Both branches of PGPL will be CLOSED on Tuesday, September 30, for National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

Interlibrary loan service is currently unavailable due to the Canada Post strike.

Have you been longing to connect with a Pen Pal? Join us monthly from October - May, to enjoy the art of letter writing and make a pen pal across the country! In collaboration with the London Public Library. Participants will practice literary skills, safe communication skills, and being present off-line. All materials are provided.
