Seeley's Bay Branch History
This public library branch first opened about 1971 in a former laundromat next to Sweet’s General Store in Seeley’s Bay. In 1975, it was joined with the Rideau Lakes Union Library. Ralph and Helen Sweet and family generously donated the current property and library building to the Municipality of the Rear of Leeds and Lansdowne.
The branch, in its new location, was officially opened on June 1, 1985 coinciding with the 10 year anniversary of the Rideau Lakes Union Library. The community hosted a ‘roast night’ for the Sweets and many other donations to the Library were also received. Helen Sweet was on the first committee to bring public library service to this part of Leeds and Grenville. Former librarians include Hilda Simpson (1982-1995), Anne Redish (1995-1997) and Susie Allen (1998-2004). In January 2001, the Seeley’s Bay Branch became part of the Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands Public Library system.
