Brand-new Appleby Line Library opened at Bateman Centre – prepare for an astonishing experience!

The New Appleby Line branch of the Burlington Library system has officially opened its doors to the public, marking a significant milestone in the community.

At the helm of this successful project is Lita Barrie, who has been the head of the library for six years. Barrie, who hails from Hamilton and serves as the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) of Burlington, led a strong team that was instrumental in the success of the library.

As the library welcomed its first visitors, James Dekens, Manager of Neighborhood Branches, was there to greet the first person to enter the library. The identity of this pioneering library-goer remains unknown.

The first child to return books at the new library also remains unnamed, but their action was a testament to the library's appeal to the community's younger members.

The library and the classrooms on the second level are the only parts of the Bateman Community Centre currently operating. Despite facing difficulties from the beginning, the library's operation is now thriving.

However, the search results do not provide information about who Lita Barrie worked for before her role as CAO in Burlington.

The opening of the New Appleby Line branch is a testament to the commitment of the Burlington Library system to serve its community. With its state-of-the-art facilities and dedicated staff, it is set to become a cherished community hub for years to come.
