Library Struck by Vandals


The new Fort Frances Public Library and Technology Centre has been the target of vandals.

Chief Librarian Margaret Sedgwick says some small trees and an outdoor chess table were broken while a letter was taken from its sign in recent months.

"We have such a beautiful building," says Sedgwick. "It's really disheartening to think that people have broken off some of our small birch trees and jumped on one of the chess tables."

Sedgwick says they are now looking at installing surveillance cameras in hopes of determining further acts.

They're also appealing to resident to watch over the building, especially on weekends.
