Founded in 1855 as the Owen Sound Mechanics' Institute, the Library has grown into a full-services public library serving the needs of residents and taxpayers of the City of Owen Sound, the Township of Chatsworth, the Township of Georgian Bluffs and the Municipality of Meaford (former Sydenham Township portion.) The Mechanics’ Institute Library and Reading Room was housed in various downtown Owen Sound locations. A purpose-built permanent building on First Avenue West, The Carnegie Library, was built in 1914 with a grant from the Andrew Carnegie Foundation. The old Carnegie Library was renovated and an addition was added to the north end in 1973, creating the 22,500 sq. foot library building that we know today. Extensive renovations of the Carnegie Library were completed in April 2003 and in the Children & Youth Services Department in 2009. The Library celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2005.

This excellent choir was founded in 1995 under the direction of founder and director Lars Kaario. It offers intriguing choral concerts to its listeners, sometimes collaborating with instrumentalists or the Vancouver Inter-Cultural Orchestra. It supports its own composer-in-residence. Its 4 CDs are highly acclaimed: Christmas Journey, Songs of Heaven and Earth, A Baroque Christmas with Ray Nurse and La Cetra, and Celtic Journey with Amy Stephen and Michael Viens. Laudate's singers are highly trained, most with music degrees. The choir is at home with an eclectic mix of repertoire, and interpret each style convincingly. Indeed, Michael McGlynn, foremost Celtic composer and artist of Riverdance and Anuna fame, says about Celtic Journey, "The combination of such excellent voices under a decisive guiding hand is very refreshing to hear on such a stylistically difficult release. This is easily one of the finest available records in the Celtic genre of vocal music that I have ever heard."
