HISTORY OF THE LIBRARY
The inaugural meeting of the Library Board was held on January 25th, 2007, in the building that would soon be known as the Taylor Public Library, located at 10008 – 104th Avenue, Taylor, BC. The members present at this meeting were: Bev Leighton, Christina Reier, Dianne Rosentreter, Betty Ponto (Councilor, District of Taylor), and Keir Gervais, Community Services Director f
or the District of Taylor, who was temporarily acting as Chair until one could be appointed. Absent at that time was the 5th board member, Richard Nosek, who was in the process of moving away from Taylor. Mayor Fred Jarvis led the election process to elect a Board Chair and Vice-Chair. Elected were Bev Leighton as Board Chair and Betty Ponto as Vice-Chair. The next step was to find and hire a Librarian for this new Library. After the interviews were completed, a new Librarian was hired – Sherry Murphy’s first day of work was May 1st, 2007. We are very pleased to welcome you to Taylor’s very own Public Library! We have endeavored to put together services and a collection of items that will cover a broad range of interests. Hours of Operation:
