This year the Rotary Club of Windsor will be supporting the efforts of the Save Hantsport Public Library (SHPL) campaign and their determination to maintain a Public Library in their town. This group of community volunteers has been fundraising for just over a year now to raise the money needed to renovate Hantsport’s decommissioned Legion building into a Public Library. The Town’s current Annapolis Valley Regional Library (AVRL) branch is located in the Hantsport School but must relocate by August 2015 due to school renovations. It has been a very busy year for this energetic group that is passionate about creating an accessible Public Library that will be a “community gathering space” for all ages and abilities. A generous donation from members of the Jodrey family has enabled a start to the renovations of what will be the “Isabel and Roy Jodrey Memorial Library”.
The Rotary Club of Windsor’s Special Fund will allow the SHPL campaign to purchase furniture and fixtures for the Library’s Adult/Young Adult users and for a creative area for Children. Also, high on the list of needs mentioned by current Library users, and wildly anticipated, is an accessible “book drop”.
