Project overview

In response to public demand the Pictou-Antigonish Regional Library, the Town of Antigonish, and the Municipality of the County of Antigonish have sought to replace a substandard and inadequate public library facility for several years.

This project, named the People’s Place, will replace that facility with a 14,000 square foot, welcoming, versatile, and environmentally efficient building located at 283 Main Street, Antigonish. It will feature a state of the art Community Access Program site, non-profit meeting and programming spaces, a permanent home for the Antigonish County Adult Learning Association, and a high visibility location for Guysborough Antigonish Strait Health Authority’s Health Connections. The Town and County Councils of Antigonish are contributing equally to the ongoing operational costs of the new facility and the Regional Library is committed to its staffing, services, and management. The project will be completed by the spring of 2010.
