Looking for a private space where you need a little bit of extra quiet? A local library is raising money to create spaces conducive for that very thing. The Orillia Public Library is reaching out for help from the community so the library can purchase soundproof study pods. The pods will offer patrons a place to take part in virtual meetings, interviews and appointments where privacy and quiet is needed. The hope is to secure two new pods, with one that’s fully accessible. As an incentive, the library is offering gifts of library swag to donors based on how much is donated. For people who donate $20, you will get library gloves, a $50 donation will get you library socks and a $100 donation will earn you a library hoodie. Any donations of more than $20, the library will give out a tax receipt. Donations can be made online, in person or by cheque.
