HALC Georgetown - Lending Library

If you haven't already, why not check out our "Lending Library" located at the rear of the building by the entrance doors. You can borrow books, puzzles or movies to keep you and your mind active.

There is a bin for all returns which are kept outside for 5 days and then sanitized. Halton Hills Public Library Georgetown branch has also generously donated seeds to our library. Choose from a variety of seeds and plant something new in your garden this year.

Telephone outreach

Volunteers have been completing weekly calls to Hillsview Acton members to chat, check in and see if anyone needs anything.

Hillsview Georgetown is also staying connected by offering an open phone line for members to call in if they have questions about programs and services, centre information, or just to chat with a friendly and familiar staff member.
