Library Work Underway

It's now underway.
Work on the new library and technology centre in Fort Frances began Monday with crews setting up security fencing around the site at the corners of Reid Avenue and Scott Street.

Chief Librarian Margaret Sedgwick says there's a sense of relief among staff to final see the project get going.

"We are breathing a sigh of relief," says Sedgwick. "The staff are ecstatic. Now, we're thinking about packing up and moving even though its a few months away.

Aurora Construction was granted the contract to build the nearly 5-million dollars facility last month.

Sedgwick says they hope to track the progress of the new building by posting photographs on the library's website.

She adds the new address, 601 Reid Avenue, will be quite appropriate for the new facility.
