Farewell to Bob & Sharon Johncox

On behalf of the NWCA Board of Directors I wish a fond farewell to Bob & Sharon Johncox; they will be moving to Penticton later this month. Sharon has been our Lead Librarian for many years as well as a long time member of the Killiney Beach Seniors Association. Sharon has been responsible for the financial records of the library as well as submitting a yearly report to the NWCA to maintain ORL funding for our Community Library. Sharon initiated the “Take a Book - Leave a Book” program at Fintry Provincial Park and it remains hugely popular today. Along with volunteers, Lynn O’Brien and Chisana Gardner she has been responsible for all book purchases.

Bob has also been very pro-active in our community having served time on the NWCA Board and Parks Committee as well as the Seniors Association. We will miss seeing you both out and about in the community, at the library and at the Seniors Oktoberfest & Christmas dinners which you having been helping with for many years.

Bob & Sharon - Thank you so very much for your many years of Community Service, you will be missed by many. We wish you all the best!

Thank you to Marie Hicks, who joined the library team a few months ago and will be stepping up, along with Lynn to take over the financial records and daily operations of our library. Chisana continues to volunteer and is just now starting the Summer Reading Challenge for the third year - see poster below. Ona McCarthy and Judy Garth continue to be available at the library as needed. Thank you!
