A fire which destroyed the books in the Queen and Lisgar Children's Room made it necessary to find a location for a new children's library. Through the generous co-operation of the Board of Education the Manning Boys and Girls Branch was opened three weeks after the fire, replacing the Queen and Lisgar children's library, St. Christopher House library, and Niagara Street and St. Mary's school libraries.
