From late fees to potential leasing opportunities, the City of Guelph has a new plan for the Guelph Public Library building.

The city is buying the property at 100 Norfolk Street while staff finish moving the library to a new location at 1 Baker Street, which is set to open in 2027.

The city said it will use $3.69 million it received through Ontario’s Building Faster Fund last year to pay for the purchase.
