Four library projects for 2026-2027

News category:

Write to Read BC volunteers are currently collaborating with four Indigenous organisations or nations:

  • Daylu Dena in northern BC.
  • Aboriginal Housing Society in Prince George.
  • Tl’esqox (Toosey) library in Caribou-Chilcotin.
  • Nzen’man’ (Zenmin) Centre in Lytton.

Together with community members, a variety of Write to Read BC volunteers will:

  • specify what library shelving to build for upcoming library projects.
  • coordinate book donations with supplier GoodMinds.com.
  • ship books to a volunteer in Whitehorse, relatively close to Daylu Dena library in northern BC.
  • complete the Daylu Dena library installation.
  • meet with Aboriginal Housing Society in Prince George to determine the library needs of multiple generations.
  • assess the available space and work on a design with Aboriginal Housing Society and stakeholders.
  • assess the space and shelves in the Tl’esqox library.
  • edit the Tl’esqox collection: cull books and develop a replacement book list.
  • firm up the 2027 Nzen’man’ project in Lytton.
  • check the type of fire-suppression—either water or foam—in the Nzen’man’ Centre, to frame the project scope.
