Aurora Public Library, Public library in Aurora, Ontario, Canada.

Aurora Public Library is a public library in Aurora, Ontario, offering a broad collection of books, digital resources, and multimedia materials to the community. The building features computer areas, free internet access, study zones, and specialized sections for children, young adults, and research materials.

A free library was organised by local Quakers in the 1820s. In 1855 the Aurora Association for the Diffusion of Helpful Knowledge formed, later the Aurora Mechanics Institute and Library Association, which held weekly lectures and concerts rather than lending books. Its 1868 Mechanics Hall at Mosley and Victoria housed a reading room. In 1920 the assets passed to a municipal public library under Ontario's 1882 Free Libraries Act, moving to Town Hall at Yonge and Mosley.

The library's name traces to the Aurora Mechanics Institute and Library Association, formed in 1855, which ran weekly lectures and concerts rather than lending books. A children's section was added in 1926, but children were admitted only on Saturday afternoons. A 2019 renovation created a multipurpose room and a Creative Studio.

The library occupies a 44,375-square-foot building at the northeast corner of Yonge Street and Church Street, its home since 2001. A 2019 renovation added a multipurpose room and a Creative Studio, plus new lighting and seating in the "living room" area.
