About the library
Write to Read BC installed its 19th library here, in the Gitsegukla elementary school. Its sponsors included the Rotary Club of Terrace-Skeena Valley, the Rotary Club of Peachland, and the Jack Gin Family Foundation.
Write to Read BC volunteers were challenged by this library. The need to avoid spreading COVID-19, the work took place, during a school holiday, when students were offsite. Out-of-town volunteers who brought shelving, furniture, books, and computer equipment did not socialise or stay with with community members.
This library had a positive impact on the community.
