A name placard will be installed on the purchased seat and will remain in place for 25 years. Donors will receive a charitable tax receipt, issued by the Town of Bracebridge.

Buy a Bay Library Bookshelf Sale
The Muskoka Lumber Community Centre will be home to a new 25,000 square foot Bracebridge Public Library branch. Individuals, families, community organizations, and local businesses are invited to purchase a library bay for books in support for the new facility. The new space will be home to the tools and resources to facilitate a more varied approach to learning and discovery including access to technology and important educational resources, a recording studio, makerspace and so much more.
Bays are being sold through EventBrite starting at $250. A name placard will be installed on the bay and all donors are issued a charitable tax receipt.
To further involve the community, the Town of Bracebridge has partnered with the South
Muskoka Hospital Foundation (SMHF) on these fundraising opportunities. Fifteen per cent of
each seat and bay sale will go towards the hospital’s annual capital fundraising campaign for much needed medical equipment.
The Muskoka Lumber Community Centre is a new multi–purpose venue that will provide the
community with a state–of–the–art, multi–generational social hub that consolidates community activities and services under one roof. The facility will be home to an arena, multi–sport fieldhouse, outdoor courtyard, play space and playground, and include space for future expansion. The facility is slated for completion in 2024.
The Best Seat in the House and Buy a Bay fundraising initiatives will continue for the duration of the project.

“The new Muskoka Lumber Community Centre is a milestone initiative that will serve our
community for decades to come. I’m excited to see the launch of these two fundraising
initiatives to give community members and local businesses the opportunity to bring this facility to life and be part of its legacy.”
