Mary J L Black will be open in 8 months

In 8 months time, the new Mary J L Black library will be open to the public. A ground breaking ceremony was held on Monday morning, and Chief Librarian Gina La Force says the project went over budget by a million dollars but notes it will be well worth it.  New play structures are being made for the kids in the neighbourhood, and a new parking lot will have to be configured for the site.  Thunder Bay Rainy River MP John Rafferty was in attendance and vowed to look for extra federal funding for the project.
