IT’S OFFICIAL. at last - the Capilano Branch of North Vancouver District Library, which will close its present building for renovations on December 8, has tound a temporary home in the activi- ty room of the inactive North Star School. The move will take place over the Christmas period, tradiuonally a quiet ume in the libraries, and will cause a minimum of disrupuion in library service. Opening date at North Star 1s Saturday, January §. Moving 1s hardly a new ex- perience for the staff and patrons of Capilano. When the library had its beginnings as a volunteer Organization in the early 1950s, the collection was contained in members’ basements. Subsequent moves took i to the shelves of a dry goods store, an abandoned newspaper hut, and a mobile shack that mov- ed on skids from one vacant lot to another. First solid home was an unused bedroom in the Fire Hall, with the children’s depart- ment housed in the bathroom (fortunately without fixtures) The present building on Newmarket Drive was the result of many vears of lob- bying for a municipal library by the volunteer association It was completed in 1959, and extended in 1969. Increases in population and hbrary usage have put heavy pressure on the library In recent years, and = the buHding itself has developed problems. The most obvious is a persistently leaky roof, which regularly has the staff scurrying with mops and buckets The new expansion. will provide a spacious library on two floors, approximately three times the size of the old one There will be a separate reference area, an activity room, enlarged children’s section and underground parking Working space, a problem for vears. wall alse be improved. and there wall be oa few cuthatnec oon Higtland Boulevard ti heep ing wath othe ob dyenirone Nillape Revitalisation The Contipmiation oof thre Leopardi y mroxe te North Slap comes as quite a rehet to Vbrary statt who were begin Dip fer crease a rebar te bascipents amd) bath roornns The tactltses at) North Stas ate datpe enol te accor mo date alimost the crtise col lection Sete bie thon mast be Stored bait there wilh be rrone paperbacks fe COnpEensate and a core reference cobles Chon will be as ankatode Nipepular library services roe liditiy peroprataniig beet oNvbebreay wall fee prossitehe at thre North Star ste I tae sehr lowated at VCO West Rorigs Road Cane tho hk ceorth of Chaecns at Meatrord us ceils a fow tretenates die ec bran balgemont Villaye and vn cass wabkatog distance fo respon: of Upper borischabe Coaprethane bibrary yeatriess are tvited te attend a © less cop Day Odpen bbouse on ites last clay of the old touthdsng Saturday December Eber wt bog col fec and cetera brervenits for atl usted oat nab re .
