Vernon's new $13.7-million library will open in late April or early May. No
library services will be available in Vernon for approximately one week
before the opening, as equipment and materials are shipped over to the
new building. The new, two-storey branch on 30th Avenue covers 2,787 square metres. Meanwhile,
the opening date for an enlarged West Kelowna library in the Westridge
Mall has been pushed back somewhat, from May to the end of June. Its
size will be increased from 557 to 929 square metres. The slight
delay is so Okanagan Regional Library board support workers can
concentrate on the Vernon project before shifting their attention to
West Kelowna. Ted Baciealupo, representing the Columbia-Shuswap
regional district, was re-elected chairman at Wednesday's ORL board
meeting. The ORL operates 29 libraries from Golden to Osoyoos.
