After many months of hard work by many volunteers in our community, the first library opened its doors on September 27, 1993. This building was an old 10x8x45 ft supply building from the defunct Sea Cadet camp at Hnausa which was purchased by Jim Pearn and Russ Bowdery for $2000.00 and was moved 95 miles for a cost of about $700.00 to its new location beside Phoenix School.Russ Bowdery, founding director and his crew of volunteers then had their work cut out for them. Bowdery was about to see his dream come true with the help of Herb Britton providing hammer and paintbrush, Wes Wiebe installing electrical wiring, Al Gerbrandt building steps and ramp, Tom Byrnes with his bobcat to move gravel and Gary Glavin with many other volunteers moving ties and looking after the many finishing details. Ties were donated by Tom Scoular and the carpet by Pat Fossay and Don Fleming.
