The local library has gotten a dozen new soft and comfortable chairs. The black swivel global comfort series Obus chairs came with a Fabrique Au Canada or Made in Canada tag attached .

They have been placed at the computer stations in the Library. The original Computers were a gift from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and were replaced after years of grateful use.

Something new is a treat go to the library and email your buds this weekend on a new comfort chair.

The local library is on Garcia street in Merritt it has 8 public access PC type computers. The public can log in for an hour a day with their library card and for visitors out of the area a 1 hr pass code is available at the front desk.

The  library was built in the early 1990s and a big part of the plan was the acceptance of the computers from the Bill and Melinda
Gates foundation. although they have been updated by the regional district since the original gifting it is good to acknowledge those that give back to the community in this way.

From the 8000 people of Merritt and 10,000 more in the trading area ,thanks to goodness and the Gates bunch.
