Riverside Branch – Windsor Public Library

About this library

The Riverside Branch serves the east-end neighbourhoods along Wyandotte Street East at Victor Drive. The library's roots go back to the former Town of Riverside, whose public library became part of the Windsor Public Library system when the town was annexed by Windsor in 1966². The original branch stood on the other side of Victor Drive; its site is now the parking lot for the current building, which opened in 1995³. Riverside offers reference materials, theme encyclopedias and a full range of fiction, magazines, DVDs and CDs for adults, teens and children, along with eight public computers and an express station¹. The branch keeps close ties with the neighbourhood: local groups regularly book its meeting rooms, and staff can order in anything held at another Windsor Public Library location. A recent refresh by library staff gave the interior a brighter, more modern feel, and the branch also hosts popular used-book sales.
