Look at the new Library Plans!

Since its inception, the Friends of the Lanark Public Library has been committed to a new library facility to replace the cramped, inadequate space now shared with City Hall and the City Clerk’s office. The FLPL has already donated $8,500 to the City of Lanark for architectural specifications for the new Municipal Building, which will house the new library facility. The organization has committed an additional $30,000 to the project—and fundraising efforts continue.
