Adult Programming
Adult programs at the OSMPL create opportunities for learning, creativity, and connection across our community. Guided by our 2026–2028 Strategic Plan, we offer experiences that support digital confidence, personal growth, and community well‑being—whether through hands‑on workshops, author talks, technology help, or spaces to explore new skills. Our programs reflect the interests and strengths of Otonabee–South Monaghan, bringing neighbours together in welcoming, inclusive environments where curiosity thrives.
All of our programs require registration to participate. Should a program not receive the minimum amount of participants to run, we will contact all registrants to let them know it has been cancelled.
If you need help registering or to cancel your registration, please let a staff member know by email, phone or in person. Phone: 705-295-6814 Email: info@osmpl.ca
