Get Involved with J.O.E.!
“I don’t think the Main Branch of the Guelph Public Library would be the same if J.O.E was not there. J.O.E. staff provide excellent customer service. They show respect and an easy going welcome to regulars and newcomers alike. Their enthusiasm is contagious and that benefits us all.”
