At the November Probus meeting, the CEO of CPL, Colleen Lipp spoke of the challenges that face the library system as Caledon grows to an expected population of 108,000 by 2031. Knowing that annually more people visit libraries than attend NFL and NHL games endorses the fact that we rely on our public libraries.
