The Ochre River Library, which is located at 203 Mann St., will be hosting an open house and book sale today from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Librarian Jenine Norman says that the goal of the book sale is to raise money for the library.
"We are trying to raise some funds for some furniture and other items within the library in Ochre River. There [are] also some activities for younger kids that we'd like to get some program funds for," she adds.
According to her, there will be over 2,000 books up for sale.
"With the wonderful donations that were given, we have a phenomenal variety of books... They're in really good shape, in almost-new condition," she adds.
Norman also says that she gave the library a huge facelift and wants to show it off during the open house.
"It means everything. I've worked really, really hard on trying to [make] it a place where the people within Ochre River would like to come and spend time and a place where the children can come and feel safe. So far, I think we're meeting that demand and it warms my heart. It makes me feel really good," she adds.
She also says that since the library had to remain closed for so long, she's really excited about activities returning to the library.
