Mississauga Library is the public library system of Mississauga, Ontario. The system has 18 branches, consisting of the Mississauga Central Library and 17 smaller neighbourhood libraries. The library system eliminated late fees in 2022.[2]

Central Library[edit]

Mississauga Central Library

The Mississauga Central Library is located in the city centre at 301 Burnhamthorpe Road West, adjacent to the Mississauga Civic Centre. It is the largest branch of the Mississauga Library System, containing four floors of materials and a further floor for silent study, and has functioned as the main library for the system since its opening in 1991.[3]

It was officially renamed to Hazel McCallion Central Library on 10 February 2021 (and affectionately nicknamed "Hazy Mac") in honour of the centennial birthday of the city's former mayor Hazel McCallion.[4][5] It recently went through extensive renovation and reopened in December 2023.

Branches[edit]

The Meadowvale Community Centre was renovated in July 2014 and re-opened in fall 2016 with a new library within the building.
The Port Credit Library $3.1 million renovation project completed in 2013, however due to the building structure issues, it closed since June 28, 2021. It has since been reopened as of August 2023.
Burnhamthorpe Library
Courtneypark Library shares the building with St. Marcellinus Secondary School. It is also the second largest library branch in the city of Mississauga.
