Summary

The October 1969 Beaver Beacon announced that the Beaver Island Community School library would open to the public every Wednesday evening. Books from the second floor of the Museum were being moved to the Parish Hall for cataloguing, and a shipment from the Northland Library Service was expected.

Evidence and limits

The notice establishes intended hours and a cataloguing project. It does not provide a collection inventory, later opening schedule, or library governance record.
