Medicine Hat Library Seeks 1.5 Million to Expand
The Medicine Hat Public Library requests about 1.5 million to extend the building at First Street S.E. and Fourth Avenue S.E. The two storey addition would add 110 square metres, include a sculpture garden and mezzanine study area, and expand the theatre and arts space while preserving the cultural centre role. The board aims to use provincial Major Culture and Recreation Facilities funds and may seek corporate donors to cover a 750,000 gap.
