Stop by the #Vineland Branch tomorrow for the first Chapter Chat about the upcoming expansion!
Chief Librarian & CEO Julie Andrews will provide a project update and behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming expansion. Hear the latest updates, ask your questions, take a guided tour of the entire library, and learn how you can support this transformation and be part of the next chapter.
Built in 1996, the now 30-year-old branch requires essential upgrades and repairs to meet accessibility standards and better serve Lincoln’s growing community.
The upcoming expansion will double the size of the branch, adding approximately 6,000 square feet. Enhancements will include new meeting rooms, an Indigenous reflection space, and the relocation of the Friends of Lincoln’s History Archives. Energy-efficient upgrades, including a new roof, HVAC system, and triple-glazed windows, will ensure long-term sustainability.

Many thanks to everyone who came out to the @lpplibraryon Rittenhouse Library yesterday evening for my “In Conversation” event with Kelly Spence, where I discussed my book Northern Girls (@barakabooks ) and did a reading! Thank you to Kelly Spence and the attendees for their thoughtful questions, and for the deep and vulnerable discussions that followed during the book signing portion of the evening. I’m so grateful for community. ❤️ And thank you also to everyone who bought a book (or two)! Your support is greatly appreciated!

We have the work of a budding photographer at #Vineland ! Check out the work of @mousphotography79 from May to June.
Here's what the young artist has to say: "Hi, I’m a 13 year old photographer based in Hamilton. Last summer I found my parent’s old camera and instantly fell in love with photography. I am now looking to expand my business and would love to take photos for you!"
