The Year in Review: 2020
2020 was an exceptional year; one like no other. Innisfil ideaLAB & Library had to close our doors due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but found new ways to continue serving the community by shifting how we provided both our traditional and non-traditional services – reimagining ways to connect with residents, and responding to completely new community needs. The Library displayed the qualities of a resilient organization focused on supporting residents in whatever capacity was required.
Let us share with you 2020.
A year of challenge. A year inspired by need. A year of impact.
