The annex will serve as rental and programming space to complement what already exists in the library.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Everything that was inside is now gone,&#8221; she said of the annex. &#8220;It\u2019s going to have an accessible rest room, a tiny kitchenette with a sink and some cupboards so people can make tea and coffee, and it will have access to wireless as well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Some of the library&#8217;s portable audio-visual equipment, like projectors, will be available for use in the space, along with perhaps some chairs and tables.<\/p>\n<p>Soon the library will move forward with architectural drawings for the full expansion, with plans to use them to &#8220;advocate in the community for fundraising and for provincial and federal grant opportunities. We are hoping that within three to four years we will be able to start the work (on the expansion).&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On June 30 from 11am to 3pm, the library will host an official launch of both the new space and also the 2016 TD Summer Reading Club &#8211; watch for details on the Virtual Library (huntsvillelibrary.ca) and the library&#8217;s social media channels (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram).<\/p>\n<p>See information on the original building announcement on Doppler here:<br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/town-approves-purchase-of-minerva-street-property-for-future-library-expansion\/\" target=\"_blank\">Town approves purchase of Minerva Street property for future library expansion<\/a><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Don&#8217;t miss out on Doppler!
