About Mississauga Library

In 1956, the residents of Toronto Township voted to establish a township public library. At that time there were six small libraries in the area: Meadowvale, Malton, Mineola Gardens, Clarkson, Lorne Park and Cooksville. Toronto Township became the Town of Mississauga on January 1, 1964 and the library’s name was changed to the Mississauga Library System.

Today, Mississauga Library thrives in the City of Mississauga; complete with 18 locations including the beautifully renovated Hazel McCallion Central Library. The library offers free programs, technology, resources, and over one million items available to borrow in-person and online.
