Russell Township has released the interior design for the future Embrun Branch. The design, created by local firm Absolute Drafting + Design Inc. is collaborative in nature and was informed by input from the community and various other stakeholders.
Spanning 5,000 square feet—an impressive expansion from the current 1,100 square feet—the new branch will serve as a dynamic community hub that anticipates the growing needs of a growing population.
The new library will feature dedicated areas for children, teens, and adults. Additional amenities will enhance the quality of the library’s services. These include:
Three reservable meeting rooms for community use, including a multimedia room;
Genealogy area showcasing the village of Embrun’s rich history;
Quiet study areas for focused work and learning;
Modern, open spaces for social connection
The capacity to host author events, workshops, and build community partnerships.
The Township of Russell Public Library looks forward to advancing this project in collaboration with the Township and Coop Embrun, and other community partners, bringing this exciting vision to life for the benefit of the entire community.
