It&#8217;s a forward-thinking and welcoming space where everyone is equal\u2014seasonal cottagers and locals alike. It&#8217;s where retired adults can take refuge from the winter weather and curl up with a novel, where cottagers find their weekly dock reads, and where children&#8217;s lives are enriched thanks to things like STEM stations, storytime, and innovative programming.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sinclair adds that it&#8217;s the &#8220;passion housed within its walls&#8221; that made her decision to support the expansion an easy one. &#8220;The sense of community found at the library is quite a remarkable thing to experience. It&#8217;s important that it continues to thrive in the years to come, as it has such an impact on the lives of members of this community. It really is an upbeat home away from home.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>An additional $50,000 has been donated by Paul and Penny Thomas, who will be naming the library&#8217;s new children&#8217;s area.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We both feel the library is one of the most important resources in our community,&#8221; they write. &#8220;We believe the staff and volunteers in the library continue to develop and deliver a wide variety of programs for both adults and children that are of a calibre that equals or exceeds the programs we have seen in the many places we have previously lived.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Thomases add that they appreciate the impact the library has had on education in the community, in particular at Irwin Memorial Public School, which is just across the road. &#8220;Having recognized the impact that an excellent education has had on our lives, we feel very fortunate to be able to support this organization as we are very confident that it will have a lasting impact on the lives of  many of the local children.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To date, about $250,000 has been raised for the expansion and renovation, which will include a new 1,800 square foot multi-functional space for community events and programming, children&#8217;s programs, and after-school programs, as well as high-speed, fibre optic WiFi and internet access, public computers and study areas.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Libraries in general have turned into community learning spaces,&#8221; says Cathy Fairbairn, CEO of the Lake of Bays Libraries and Branch Librarian in Dwight. &#8220;The broad range of things people are learning within our walls or even at home through our virtual walls on the internet with all the databases and things we can offer through our websites\u2014it\u2019s just opened up education and learning and fun for people in a huge way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Dwight branch has friendly and committed staff, dedicated patrons and a wide range of programs and services but what it lacks is space. &#8220;If we run a program in the library, it\u2019s crowded,&#8221; says Fairbairn. &#8220;It shuts the library down for other services because we are taking up the space and it\u2019s not quiet.&#8221; The proposed expansion will include programming space that can be closed off to keep the rest of the library operational, as well as two quiet pods for those who want to be able to work, read or study in a quiet place.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_59616\" style=\"width: 717px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-59616\" class=\"size-full wp-image-59616\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/12\/1631-170616-INT-RENDERING-011.jpg\" alt=\"The 1,800 sq.ft. expansion at Dwight Public Library will provide multi-functional space for a variety of programs and services (supplied)\" width=\"707\" height=\"397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/12\/1631-170616-INT-RENDERING-011-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/12\/1631-170616-INT-RENDERING-011.jpg 707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 707px) 100vw, 707px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-59616\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The 1,800 sq.ft. expansion at Dwight Public Library will provide multi-function space for a variety of programs and services (supplied)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The renovation and expansion will also include upgraded wireless services. &#8220;Now that we have fibre optics, it&#8217;s a big deal for our community\u2014a lot of people don&#8217;t have access where they live. We need more space for people to connect to each other and to connect to the internet,&#8221; says Fairbairn, adding that libraries have evolved from a place where you borrowed a book to community spaces for being creative and learning. &#8220;We\u2019ve turned into the safe community space where you can come to connect with friends, have a conversation or meeting, come to use our equipment like our STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) tools like robots for children, or come to learn something through all different kinds of programming from crafts to educational talks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The library and its expansion committee have a variety of fundraising initiatives to help get to their $1.2 million goal\u2014from a jar on the circulation desk where patrons can drop spare change or a few bills, to seeking out major donors and everything in between.<\/p>\n<p>There are also three upcoming fundraisers:<\/p>\n<p>With Christmas right around the corner, if you&#8217;re struggling to find a gift for the person who has everything, why not buy a brick in support of the library? They&#8217;ll put a tag on it for you and you can take it home and put it under your tree.<\/p>\n<p>A Mac &amp; Cheese dinner hosted by the expansion committee and the Dwight Lions Club on January 5 that includes samples of delicious dishes concocted by area restaurants and a sundae dessert buffet. Tickets are $15 for adults, $5 for kids under 12 or $30 for a family of four (two adults and two children under 12) and are available for pre-purchase at Dwight Public Library or Ericka&#8217;s coffee shop.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the &#8216;Put Yourself on Our Shelf&#8217; fundraiser allows donors to sponsor a book shelf. For a $2,500 sponsorship, a donor can have the inscription of their choice engraved on a plaque to be affixed to one of the library&#8217;s new shelves.<\/p>\n<p>Library staff are also looking for grant opportunities that they can apply for, and once they have secured a substantial amount of the needed funds they will approach the Township of Lake of Bays for their support.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about the project or to make a donation, contact Cathy Fairbairn at 705-635-3319 or cathy@lakeofbayslibrary.ca or make an online contribution <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/en\/dn\/38203\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_59617\" style=\"width: 1424px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-59617\" class=\"size-full wp-image-59617\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/12\/DPLexpansionFloorPlan.jpeg\" alt=\"The floor plan for the expanded Dwight Public Library\" width=\"1414\" height=\"609\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/12\/DPLexpansionFloorPlan-300x129.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/12\/DPLexpansionFloorPlan-1024x441.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/12\/DPLexpansionFloorPlan.jpeg 1414w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1414px) 100vw, 1414px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-59617\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The floor plan for the expanded Dwight Public Library (supplied)<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!
