GRASSROOTS: New Library Is Looking Grand; 8 Grand

(Grassroots: Page 4)

By Todd Curran
At a cheque presentation on December 15th, Jamey Eslinger donated $8,000 to the Sheep River Inter-municipal Library on behalf of TransCanada Pipelines.
“We've done quite a bit here in Turner Valley,” Jamey says in regards to TransCanada's financial support of the community. “We've got quite a few guys who've retired locally so we like to help out the community.”
“This is the biggest cash donation that we've received during our fundraising to date,” says Holly Quan, Chair of the Friends of the Sheep River Library.
“We've got a big space in there to furnish,” Chair of the Sheep River Library Board, Diane Osberg says. “This money will be put toward the purchase of equipment and it's going to go a long way.”
The Library is scheduled to be up and running in 2011.
