Beechy Contact Box 154 Beechy, Sk S0L 0C0 Phone: 859-2032 beechy.library@wheatland.sk.ca Hours Tuesday Wednesday Thursday 10:30 - 5:30 12:00 - 5:30 10:30 - 5:30   Location: Main Street Description The first public library in Beechy was housed in a room in the vacant school.  Some visionary citizens could see this wasn’t satisfactory.  With volunteer labor, a banquet hosted by the local homemakers club, the raffle of a deep freeze, small grant from the local recreation club and many, many donations from private citizens, the library became a reality.  The cinder brick building is very warm in the winter and is cool as air conditioning in summer.  When finances became available, children’s books were purchased for approximately twenty-five cents each and hard covers for $1.25.  The various librarians worked gratis or for a small honorarium.  Since then, a junior room has been added.  We have three computers, one for administration and two free for public access. The Beechy Branch of the Wheatland Regional Library was established December 7, 1967.  Mrs. Esther Hooper was our first librarian, followed closely by Mrs. Ella Holden who held the position for 26 years.  Mrs. Doris Hanke was nominated Treasurer in 1956 and is still today, our valued treasurer and board member.
