Tim Hortons Smile Cookie Campaign
Aurora Public Library is the 2026 Smile Cookie Charity of Choice for Aurora
Aurora Public Library is deeply honoured to be recognized for its ongoing community impact and selected as the 2026 Smile Cookie charity of choice for all Aurora Tim Hortons locations.
From April 27 to May 3, 2026, 100% of proceeds from every Smile Cookie purchased at participating Aurora Tim Hortons restaurants will support Aurora Public Library programs and services.
Each Smile Cookie is $2, and every cookie directly supports free community programs at your library.
This marks the first time APL has been selected for this incredible community campaign, and we extend our sincere gratitude to the Aurora Tim Hortons restaurant owners for choosing to invest in local literacy, learning, and connection.
Aurora Public Library is a single-branch library serving the entire Town of Aurora and surrounding communities. Every day, we provide free access to learning, literacy, technology, and community programs for people of all ages—from children and teens to adults and seniors.
We are excited and truly grateful to see our community come together in such a meaningful way.
