Strategic Plan
A Committee made up of Board
and staff members developed a vision for the
Library that will guide its development over the
next five years. As a result of this process, the Library has committed itself
to its present main street location and to the heritage building that has served
the community for almost 100 years. Recognizing the challenges of limited space
and serviceability that the current Library building presents, a plan for
expansion is the thread that runs through the entire document. Copies are
available in the Library.
Support Your Library
The Library welcomes financial donations and
will issue an income tax receipt to the
donor. The Library Quilt is also an excellent way to support the library, in
recognition of family or friends, or to honour the memory of a loved one. For
a $50 donation, individuals may purchase a book spine and have it inscribed with
the name of an individual or a family. The Quilt hangs in the Robert J. Boyer
Reading Room and serves as a permanent tribute to the value of reading.
Fundraising events take place occasionally and
are promoted in the
Events Calendar section of the site.
Library Membership
Library membership is free to all permanent
residents or property owners in the District of Muskoka. A $50 annual fee ( or $25 for 6 months) may be paid by non-residents who wish to borrow materials, use the internet, or access other library services.
