And right now, you know, that&#8217;s kind of questionable in terms of your partnership.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fullerton also said the board was open to the idea of the library being an &#8220;anchor tenant&#8221; for a multi-use building, as he acknowledged there are plenty of other groups in the municipality also looking for space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In New Brunswick, the province handles delivery of service, library collections, staffing and the setting of policies and standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The municipality provides and maintains the facilities, including the building and IT infrastructure, and appoints a council representative to the library board, currently Councillor Michael Tower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1984, thanks to grassroots, community-led fundraising, the current library opened, then a state-of-the-art facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, 40 years later, it isn&#8217;t. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-dominant-color=\"c6baae\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #c6baae;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-02-at-4.51.31-PM-1280x720.avif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-75164 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-02-at-4.51.31-PM-1280x720.avif 1280w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-02-at-4.51.31-PM-600x338.avif 600w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-02-at-4.51.31-PM-768x432.avif 768w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-02-at-4.51.31-PM-1536x864.avif 1536w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-02-at-4.51.31-PM-1320x743.avif 1320w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-02-at-4.51.31-PM.avif 1596w\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A slide from Merrill Fullerton&#8217;s presentation to council, showing on the left the staircase to the basement, and on the right the furniture that needs to be moved to accommodate children&#8217;s programming for more than 12 people. | Photo: Sackville Library board<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For a population the size of Sackville&#8217;s\u20146,099 according to 2021 census data\u2014the province recommends a space of at least 8,200 square feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Right now, the library is only about 4,600 square feet, but that includes the basement, which is only accessible by walking down a narrow flight of stairs, effectively cutting the usable space in half. And in order to accommodate events and programming, staff have to move all the furniture from the children&#8217;s area to have enough room, Fullerton said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s why the request also includes a multi-purpose room, at least 600 square feet, to be used for programming and events, which could be rented out when not in use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the past two years, membership grew from about 2,600 to just over 3,100 and the yearly visitor count increased by 15.5 per cent, Fullerton said during the presentation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other significant increases include programming, with about 900 more participants, circulation by 27.6 per cent, and computer use by 33.5 per cent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The increase in circulation prompted Mayor Andrew Black to ask what an expanded space would mean for the collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Knockwood said the library currently houses almost 14,000 items, when it should be about 24,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200a\u201cI think I have everything at 40 inches between each shelving,&#8221; said Knockwood, &#8220;and then if I were to add any more, that&#8217;s gone. And then any space for seating or play, anything like that is gone. So right now, literally the shelving is the most we can put in.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And speaking of renting, that was one of the options discussed during questions by council, with Councillor Tower being the first to bring it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\u201c\u200aSo basically, when you&#8217;re talking to leasing, you&#8217;re talking about a private partnership possibly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fullerton said that was one possibility and later said there were eigh communities currently leasing facilities: Rogersville, Moncton, Dorchester, Saint John, Saint John West, Chatham, Shediac and Port Elgin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The topic of fundraising also came up, both during the presentation and questions from council. Fullerton said, for its part, the board is willing, but without a plan, reluctant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u200aAt this point, it&#8217;s hard to ask for money because we&#8217;re like, what are we asking it for? So that&#8217;s kind of where we are,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But you know, I think we&#8217;re open to doing outreach and shaking trees if we need to.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Listen to the audio below: Sackville\u2019s public library needs a new location with more space and better accessibility, says Merrill Fullerton, chair of the Sackville Library board.
