Champlain Township Public Library has
come a long way from its humble origins
operating out of private homes. Located for many
years at the former Vankleek Hill Town Hall, the
library moved to its present location at 94 Main
Street East after the St. John's Masonic Lodge
purchased the building in 1984 from The Bank of
Nova Scotia and subsequently transferred
ownership of the building to the Town.
Extensive renovations to
the library began in December of 2001 for the
first time in 18 years. In designing the new
space, special attention was paid to maximize
the use of space while keeping the historical
integrity of the building and at the same time
creating an attractive yet practical space for
the public to enjoy. J. Denis
Séguin, of HOK Canada Ltd., contributed his
architectural expertise as well as many hours of
work to the project resulting in a spectacular
library for all residents of Champlain Township to
enjoy.
Work was
completed in the spring of 2002 and on April 6,
2002 the public was invited to an Open House.
This event was well-attended and gave the public
a chance to not only view the newly renovated
library but to meet with many of the design
staff as well as to view a photographic account
of the renovations. Library Board
