WEST WING PROJECT On November 27th, Linda Louis, Chair of the Library Foundation, along with the Mayor of the District of West Vancouver, successfully handled the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the West Wing . The new shelving upgrade project was funded by the Library Foundation and the District of West Vancouver.
