The current Vineland Branch opened in 1996, replacing two smaller branches in Vineland and Jordan. Today, this location is the main service point for residents of Vineland, Jordan, Campden, Rockway, and Tintern.
The proposed expansion will add approximately 6000 square feet, meet updated accessibility requirements, and be a flexible, welcoming space for all.
LPPL strives to help our community imagine possibilities. Share your feedback on the proposed design and improvements.

Frequently Asked Questions:
What is the cost of the project?
The estimated cost, based on the current design, is $8 million.
How is the project being funded?
Funding will come from different sources, including:
Grants: The project is currently under review for the Green and Inclusive Community Buildings Programs, funded by the federal government. Grant funding will continue to be sought as opportunities arise.
Municipal funding: The Town of Lincoln has expressed support for the project but have not yet committed to a final amount. It is expected to be between $1 and 2 million.
Fundraising: A capital campaign is being mounted to support the project.
When will construction start?
Construction is dependent on funding. When the funds are confirmed, dates will be set and communicated.
Why is the branch being renovated?
Community surveys, use patterns, staff and community input, demographic and growth information, have informed the plan to expand and renovate the library in Vineland.
In addition, AODA regulations regarding accessibility have been updated. The Vineland branch, built in 1996, requires upgrades to meet new guidelines and ensure the library is accessible to all community members.
In addition, the building is being designed to be net-zero, meaning it will be carbon-neutral and much more energy efficient and resilient with respect to climate change.
How will I access library services during the closure?
Library customers can visit library branches in Beamsville, Fonthill, and Fenwick. LPPL’s Bookmobile will also provide satellite service at different locations in Vineland on a set schedule. LPPL cardholders can also use their LPPL card at any library in Niagara and can take advantage of reciprocal borrowing from St. Catharines and Niagara Falls public libraries.
