"A surprising number of people living in and around the Bradford area don't even know the town boasts a flourishing public library. Tell them that it's situated right across from the IGA and they'll be even more astonished. But, with a membership of better than 1,150 and still climbing, reading is obviously a popular activity in Bradford, and for that, book-lovers and those who only use library facilities now and again, can thank Library Administrator Gertrude Melbourne, assistant Amanda Kneeshaw and library secretary Susan Klop, all of Bradford."

A newspaper article about the creation of the Gwen Taylor Memorial Library as a community library in Newtown Robinson. The library was conceived after the Newton Robinson branch of the Bradford West Gwillimbury Public Library was closed.
"The Gwen Taylor Memorial Library is an example of what a community can achieve, when it pulls together. The community library in Newton Robinson was opened by residents of the hamlet, after the local branch of the Bradford West Gwillimbury Public Library was closed by the Library Board..."

"Bradford library is being whipped into shape. There is a new head librarian with new ideas. Ann Marie Newman started part-time in February and last week she began full time. Anne Marie is from Halifax, Nova Scotia, and she studied sociology at Dalhousie University. After graduation, Ann Marie was taken on staff of the University library. For two and a half years, she catalogued books in the Special Collection department. "I worked with all facets of technical library skills," explained Ann Marie. Dan Blake of Bradford's Library Board interviewed her and in February Ann Marie became head librarian."
