The Township of Russell is proud to announce a significant step forward in the relocation of the Embrun Branch of the Township of Russell Public Library. A 15-year lease agreement—with four additional 5-year renewal options—has officially been signed with Embrun Co-op, securing the future home of the library in a new, modern facility set to be built by September 2026.
This milestone follows the Township Council’s direction from its August 26, 2024, meeting, where it approved the pursuit of a partnership with Embrun Co-op. Since then, both parties have worked diligently, navigating legal considerations to finalize an agreement that reflects the shared vision of enhancing library services for the growing community.
The new library will offer a contemporary, accessible space designed to meet the evolving needs of residents. More than just a collection of books, this facility will serve as a vibrant hub for learning, culture, and community engagement, fostering connections among residents of all ages.
The Township of Russell remains committed to innovative partnerships that enhance local services and enrich the lives of residents. The collaboration with Embrun Co-op is a prime example of how community-driven initiatives can create lasting benefits for everyone.
Stay tuned for updates as this project progresses!
