Our Building

New Library Building

In 2006 Fort St. James celebrated its 200th birthday. The District of Fort St. James proclaimed the construction of a new library as the official project of the bicentennial , and the opening of the new library was a key event in a year-long calendar of celebrations and special events.

Our new building allows us to provide more programs, quiet areas for reading, research and computer access, and accessibility for all our patrons.

We are still a public library. Changing our name to Bicentennial means our community will continue the celebration and the sense of pride we share in our history and our strengths for years to come.

But it looks finished to me…..

Now that the doors are open, we can celebrate the successful completion of Phase 1 – the building phase. Phase 2 is the finishing and completion stage. The library may look finished, but there are still things that need to be done.

What’s needed to finish the library?

• Window Coverings
• Furniture, including folding tables and storage shelving
• Office equipment
• Mechanics for an elevator lift, so disabled patrons can access the mezzanine
• Flooring for the mezzanine area
• Completing the landscaping around the building

Please consider making a donation to your library. All donations are tax deductible and donors will be recognized. To make a donation, please talk to the librarian or a library board member.

Thank you to all the Financial Supporters of the the New Library
