During the brief closure, staff will relocate collections and equipment, and prepare the new space to welcome the community. A release from the town states the new facility will be fully accessible and provide spaces for community members to feel welcome and comfortable. The library will be more efficient with a replacement of the heating and cooling systems, windows, roof, and more.

With investment from federal, provincial, and local governments, the town library, a branch of the Pictou-Antigonish Regional Library, will serve as the New Glasgow Destination Centre.
