The proposed new library would have been 12,000-square-feet, about 4,000 more than current South Delta branch. The project would have been part of a much bigger plan (costing $8.3 million in total) that also included the construction of a new artificial turf playing field at the park. In 2006, the municipality proposed moving out of the mall location and building an entirely new South Delta library branch at Winskill Park. Today, it’s still the only one of Delta’s three libraries that is not located in a municipally-owned building and is instead rented. Let’s head back to April of 1986 when a new Tsawwassen public library branch opened at the Town Centre mall.
