Junction Triangle Library Receives $1-Million Contribution
The big news from last night's library meeting is the announcement of a $1.1-million contribution to the expansion fund of the Perth/Dupont branch. The money comes from a development fee for the new condo project at Lansdowne and Dupont. The contribution guarantees that significant renovations will happen at the library. The money comes courtesy of Councillor Bailao who steered the funds toward our project. Thank you Ana!! This is a huge first step.
Good Library Meeting
Thanks too to Karen Von Hahn who was last nights guest speaker and Anne Bailey from the Library who answered many questions. Thanks too to the residents who came out and shared their ideas. Carmen Martino's stories about some of the Patrons were great.
Healthy Library = healthy community.
Regardless of age a healthy Library leads to a healthy community. Come on out Tuesday night to hear some great discussion about the value of libraries and throw your 2 cents worth in too. By supporting library expansion we are supporting our community.
