The work has begun! The first stage of the Big Valley Municipal Library makeover begins this week. The mobile bookcases arrived on Tuesday. As a consequence, the library is closed this week, as books are shifted, floors are scrubbed and paint is applied.
We look forward to reopening our doors next Tuesday, with a fresh look and a large selection of new books on our new shelves. We apologize for any inconvenience this temporary disruption in service might have caused our patrons. For further information, call 403-876-2642.
