Hello all! Service announcement here. I am a little library steward and have had one on my front lawn for over 5 years. It’s listed on the little library website making it easy to find. I have 3 book cases. One for adult books, one for kids/teens and one for dog treats/poop bags. The rule of thumb is: 1) Take a book- leave a book 2) if there is a series there it’s ok to take it but return it for others to read or put it into another library 3) do NOT empty a library. 4) do not drop boxes of your books on a stewards front step without asking Last night my kids/teen library was completely emptied, about 20 books in total. This is not cool and only the second time it has happened. Please do not empty our libraries. Take what you can read over a week or two then come back for more. We were happy to add the extra libraries for all to enjoy! Thanks! Source

About 50 residents attended the Barrie Strong meeting last night at a banquet hall on John St. The topic on hand was the homelessness issue that has many concerns for a variety of issues. People from all walks of life attended, former politicians, clergy, business owners, and victimized residents. Substance abuse, violence, fires were at the forefront. Discussions back and forth were had ranging from more shelters, affordable housing, harm reduction, and steps to achieve these goals. Ideas ranged from forced sobriety to military enforcement, to lesser strict tactics like more outreach and social workers. In the end it was noticeable that both sides expressed frustration and given the tension shown on social media on various accounts, even this post will spark controversy outlandish comments and name calling. We have witness many sides to this issue both personally and through reporting. When Berzcy Park was at its peak it was clear there would be no "winners". Groups …
