PGPL Nechako Branch Closed Following Tuesday’s Fire

PRINCE GEORGE – Tuesday’s fire at the spicy greens restaurant has left the Nechako branch of the public library closed. 

Smoke and damage from the operations of Prince George Fire rescue to put out the fire at the Hart Shopping Centre have left the location closed until further notice. Ceiling tiles will need to be replaced along with air quality testing, and the staff is currently going through the over 25 thousand items to make sure they aren’t damaged. 

In the meantime, staff will be set up in the Hart Shopping Centre today from 2 pm to 10 pm and tomorrow from 10 to 2 pm to provide basic service, excluding lending materials. They will provide information and can assist with placing holds and renewing items. Patrons should look for the library’s blue and purple van.
