The Library Board of Peninsula Community Library (PCL) is inviting everyone to a “Build the Team” event, which will take place Thursday, Feb. 23, at 7 p.m. at the library, 2699 Island View Road on the Old Mission Peninsula.
The library, which has been housed in the Old Mission Peninsula School since the school was built in the 1950s, is in the process of raising funds and building a team to help facilitate the construction of their own building on land they own at the corner of Island View Road and Center Road.
