A
Deputy
Speaker
and
member
for
Burnaby
admins.
Mr.
speaker
today
marks
the
10th
anniversary
after
Tommy
Douglas
branch
of
the
burn,
B
Public
Library,
located
near
the
corner
of
Kingsley
and
Edmund
Street.
It
replaced
the
former
Kings
Bay
branch
that
had
server
communities
since
1962
demand
for
a
new
branch.

In
terms
of
the
number
of
library
materials
alone,
two
residents
had
been
growing
steadily
two
of
the
years
beyond
that
there
was
a
growing
need
for
a
community
hub
for
the
increasingly
diverse
Edmonds
area,
a
meeting
space
where
new
Canadians
could
gather
and
receive
help
to
allow
them
to
grow
into
their
new
home.
A
non
traditional
library
was
envisioned
as
the
ideal
way
to
meet
the
demands
of
creating
and
maintaining
such
a
healthy
and
dynamic
community.
The
seventeen
thousand
five
hundred
square
foot
library
is
home
to
over
84,000
items.

A
Tommy
Douglas
was
a
member
of
parliament
for
writing
of
Burnham
eco
Catalan
from
1962
to
1968
and
was
the
first
leader
of
Canada's
New
Democratic
Party,
who
was
instrumental
in
bringing
forward
the
universal
public
health
care
system
and
expansion
of
public
services
to
all
Canadians
I,
send
my
best
wishes
and
congratulations
to
the
staff
and
patrons
of
the
Tommy
Douglas
branch
of
the
Burnaby
public
library.
I,
can't
think
of
more
fitting
tribute
to
the
values
of
our
community
and
the
lab
its
namesake.
