The construction of the new Berwick & Area Library is well under way!
The new space will again be in the Berwick Town Hall complex at 236
Commercial Street, but will be twice as large, 2190 sq. ft. It will have
access to more program rooms, a larger section for youth and an
inspiring area for children. As well as a quiet reading area for adults.
You will enter the library through the "Community Living Room". A place
to gather with your community neighbours, to relax, or to read a book or
magazine either online or in hardcover.
Outside the windows will be a landscaped green space with outdoor
seating and wifi access under large trees. It will be in close proximity
to the sidewalk so you can't miss it.
A dedicated group called the Friends of the Berwick & Area Library
has formed to help fund raise the necessary amount to outfit the new
space with inspiring furnishings and equipment. If you would like to
join this group or receive up to date information please contact the
Berwick Library, 902-538-4030, to be added to the email list. If you
have any questions or would like to make a donation you may do so here
(Canada helps ) or drop in to the Berwick Library temporarily located
in Wilson's Pharmasave at 213 Commercial Street, Berwick.
