Bezanson Readers: Your Next Plot Twist Has Arrived

Bezanson Readers: Your Next Plot Twist Has Arrived

A pop-up library has started a new chapter in Bezanson, where residents can check out books, attend community programs and use services such as printing, emailing and finding resources with the help of a librarian.

To mark the moment, residents are invited to attend a grand opening and enjoy free refreshments and door prizes.

Grand Opening Details:
Date: November 19 from 4 to 6 p.m.
Location: Lower level of the Bezanson Community Event Centre

“The County of Grande Prairie Library Board is excited to launch a library pilot project in Bezanson,” says Sharon Mittelstaedt, Board Chair. “The Bezanson Pop-up Library will establish a much-needed library service point in the east County, bringing library access into the heart of the growing community of Bezanson.”

The pop-up library will be open Tuesdays 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Thursdays from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., located at 9901 100 Ave, Bezanson.

Users can enjoy a small, permanent book collection, a rotating collection, and an option to access more than 3 million books, and other items, in The Regional Automation Consortium. Items can be delivered and picked up from the Bezanson library location.

As a new community service, resident feedback will be important in shaping the pop-up library. People are encouraged to share their thoughts about the pop-up through the Bezanson Community Library Facebook page.

The 18-month pilot project is being funded through Alberta’s Community Initiatives Grant and is made possible thanks to a partnership between the County, Peace Library System, Grande Prairie Public Library and the Bezanson Agricultural Society.
