Without the Cochrane Public Library and its archives, our weekly feature on local history would not exist. This week, the library itself is the topic.
The Times-Post edition of June 9th, 2000 reported on the ribbon cutting a week earlier at the current library on Fourth Ave., across from Town Hall. It had moved from the Wicks Building on Third St., just off Sixth Ave. It is the sixth location since the first library was set up in 1917.
Mayor Don Genier was joined by Timiskaming-Cochrane MPP David Ramsay to cut the ribbon.
The mayor remarked that the community mind and intellect need a place to grow, and the library is the proper place for it.
