Exterior design of the new Embrun Branch

We are pleased to reveal the exterior design for the future Embrun Branch of the Township of Russell Public Library. Developed in collaboration with the Township of Russell and Embrun Co-op, this project will provide the community with a vibrant and accessible space dedicated to learning, connection, and local services.

Key Features of the New Building

Designed by the local firm Absolute Drafting + Design Inc., the building blends traditional, contemporary, and natural materials to create a modern, inviting aesthetic that honors Embrun’s rich heritage and looks to its future. The library will occupy 5,000 square feet on the main floor, complemented by a reading garden at the rear for patrons to enjoy a peaceful outdoor area. Large, prominent windows throughout allow natural light to flood the interior, fostering a warm, welcoming atmosphere. A spacious vestibule at the main entrance provides easy access for book drop-offs and other essential library services.
