The elevator installation is progressing well. Doors have been added on each floor and the car is now built inside the shaft.
Flooring and carpeting is being installed. A new drop box and shelving has been added to the main level.

Installation of the elevator is underway. The parts are on site and are being installed incrementally as each stage requires an inspection for safety. This will be an on-going process over a number of weeks.
We have had a meeting with the Town's Horticulturalist to plan for the replanting of the garden facing Broadway.
Photo Gallery: July 2023 Mill Renovation will appear here on the public site.

As part of the library’s commitment to providing accessible customer service, a new elevator is being built in the downtown branch. The current 1980s vintage hydraulic lift will undergo a full reconstruction to create an elevator that is AODA (Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act) compliant.
We thank all library users for their patience as we work to provide more accessible customer service to our patrons.
