Why This Project Matters
Aylmer’s current library space is constrained, limiting room for collections, seating, study space, children’s programming, and community gatherings. The project is focused on delivering an improved, modern library experience for residents, while strengthening the role of the library as a welcoming community hub in the downtown.
