The facility was opened on June 24, 2024, marking a significant milestone for the community. The library offers an improved space for residents to engage, learn and foster connections. Construction on the project began on June 3, 2022, thanks to funding from the Chetwynd Public Library Association, businesses, local governments, granting agencies and local families. This support reflects the shared commitment to promoting education and literacy in Chetwynd and the surrounding area.
The final 8,600 square foot facility features much-needed storage and accessibility upgrades, with room to meet the community’s current and future needs. In addition to the services and spaces that the community has grown to love, the library now provides exciting amenities such as a storytelling space, children’s program room, teen seating area, maker space and virtual reality room, multi-purpose room and outdoor patio with views of the skate park. Patrons of the new Chetwynd Public Library can also enjoy the café in a 20-person open seating and food preparation area.
The facility is owned by the Peace River Regional District, operated by the Chetwynd Public Library Association and funded through a local service area that includes the District of Chetwynd and surrounding areas.
