Friends of the Antigonish Library (FoAL) began in 2004, when local people began to create a vision of a new library for Antigonish.
FoAL became a registered society in 2005, and after several years of work with the Pictou-Antigonish Regional Library board and administration, the beautiful Antigonish Town and County Library became a reality! It’s called “The People’s Place” to honour the community’s role in creating a centre where all are welcome.
FoAL is an active part of the Library, continuing our role by engaging community volunteers to further develop the People’s Place, its programming and collection.
