LUNENBURG LIBRARY

@ Lunenburg Academy

Lunenburg Town Council, South Shore Public Libraries, and the Lunenburg Academy Foundation cordially invite you to attend the GRAND OPENING of the Lunenburg Library at its new home in the iconic Lunenburg Academy.

Since 2015, the Town of Lunenburg and the Lunenburg Academy Foundation have been carrying out a large scale repurposing plan to convert this majestic former school into a Community Cultural Centre.

The relocation of the Lunenburg Library to the first floor has been a priority in our planning from the beginning and we are delighted to reach this important milestone.

We are keen to open the doors and invite you into the building to celebrate with us!
