Official opening for new Pugwash library on July 29
- Details
Pugwash is gearing up for a big celebration on Saturday, July 29, as it marks the grand opening of its new $2.198-million library.
Representatives from the Municipality of Cumberland and the Nova Scotia government will join with the Cumberland Public Libraries and a citizens group that raised in excess of $500,000 to celebrate what has become an incredible success story.
“For many years we were told about the need for a new library in Pugwash. The old library was obsolete almost from the moment it opened more than 30 years ago. We were told if we build it, the community will come,” Municipality of Cumberland Mayor Murray Scott said. “As a municipality, we made the decision to build this wonderful facility and the community has responded in so many ways by supporting the community fundraising campaign and by using the library as much as they have since it opened. It’s really something worth celebrating. Together we celebrate this great project.”
