REMEMBERING is what the West Vancouver Memorial Library was built for.

Now, it’s taking time to celebrate its own 50-year history.

The ribbon was cut on the original building on Nov.

11, 1950, after a vote deter-

mined that a library should

commemorate the soldiers who died in the Second World War.

This Sunday begins a week of celebrations to mark the half-century anniversary.

“Te sa place that's really worth celebrat- ing,” said chief librarian Ann Goodhart, reterring to the library's excellent circulation numbers and high level of community sup- port. “So there’s a lor of joy in celebrating something so successful and so important to the community.”

Music, author readings, entertainment, a book sale, a special contest, and an official birthday ceremony and cake will mark the 50th anniversary of the library. For those who just can’t get enough, there's even a sleep- over.

Perhaps the fibrary’s most famous patrons, authors Douglas Coupland and Nick Bantock, have scheduled readings. Coupland, whose books include Generation X, Shampoo Planet

and Girlfriend in a Conta, will visit the library on Nov. 14 at 7 p.m. Bantock, a writer and i!ustrater who wrote the mega-hit Griffin and Sabine trilogy. will read at 1] p.m. on Nov. 18. Both events require pre-registra- tion, Call 925-7400 for more information. Ross Penhall, a West Vancouver firefighter and artist, has also contributed to the celebrations with an oil painting inspired by West Vancouver's Memorial Gardens. Posters of the painting will be sold on Nov. 18,

Families can attend the first ever sleepover party on Friday, Nov. 17. Goodhart suggested the idea, modelled on an annual event held by the library in Washington state where she used to work. She and other library staff have a packed evening planned, with face painting, puppets, T-shirt decorating, games and a sing- along, snacks, and of course, story time. The evening starts at 7 p.m. A parent or adult must accompany each child. To register, call the youth services department at 925-7408. .

Nov. 18 is the official day of celebrations, with a ceremony followed by cake at 2: :30 p.m. Space is stilf left for Mad Science and the World of Harry Potter and the puppet show. At noon, entertainment will begin with the Sentinel Biues Band. Winners of the book- mark contest will recéive awards, and copies of the winning designs will be available.
