 Fundraising Campaign Launched for New Glasgow Public Library Revitalization

April 21, 2026, New Glasgow, Nova Scotia - The Town of New Glasgow, in partnership with the Pictou-Antigonish Regional Library, is launching a fundraising campaign to support the revitalization of the New Glasgow Public Library and Community Spaces.

The project will transform the existing library facility into a vibrant Destination Centre, bringing together community partners and providing welcoming, accessible spaces for residents of all ages. Planned upgrades include modern meeting rooms, creative and maker spaces, areas for youth and seniors, and programming and collaboration spaces for community groups and nonprofit organizations.

The fundraising campaign has a goal of $4.7 million, which will help create modern, flexible spaces while supporting major building upgrades that improve accessibility and reduce energy use.

“Our public library has always been a place where people come together to learn, connect, and grow,” said Mayor Nancy Dicks. “This revitalization project will ensure the library continues to serve our community for generations to come.”

The campaign is being led by Co-Chairs Wade Sullivan and Emily Sullivan.

“The library has always been a special place in our community, and this project will help create a space where people of all ages can gather, learn, and connect,” said Emily Sullivan.

“We’re proud to help lead this campaign and invite others to join us in supporting a space that will benefit our community for many years to come,” said Wade Sullivan.

A digital booklet outlining the project and ways to support the campaign is available on the Town of New Glasgow website at Library Revitalization Project - Town of New Glasgow
