Melfort library turns page on 90 years
The Melfort Public Library will soon start a new chapter, as its 90th anniversary approaches this month.
Sept. 22 formally marks the library’s big anniversary, but with the Melfort Multi-K already happening that same day, the library anniversary celebrations were moved to this Saturday instead. Head librarian Penny Markland said she could not believe how many years have gone by.
“We quietly go about our business and do our work in the community, and even for us to realize it’s been 90 years is quite surprising,” she said.
Markland herself has been at the library for 30 years. She said the most obvious change she has seen is with the service they provide and the use of more computer automation.
