Curbside library opens in Richmond
Richmond rakes port over the coals
Former newspaper box reinvented as a children’s library in Steveston
New facility will barge four million tonnes of coal in the South Arm

A former newspaper box has been given a new life on a residential street in Richmond. Carolyn Hart and her family have transformed the box into a micro-library she calls the Lassam Road Children’s Library. “This is a natural extension of my ongoing work to promote childhood literacy. I want every child in Richmond to love reading and to enjoy easy access to great books,” said Hart in an e-mail. Located outside her home at 10520 Lassam Rd. in Steveston, the library is home to a variety of children’s books—from board books to novels—and free to use for young book lovers. Hart, a teacher who has developed and taught literacy programs at local community centres and libraries, said readers are welcome to simply borrow a book, or take a book home and replace it with another. Library users dropped off a handful of new titles yesterday, including Pooh’s Grand Adventure and a Disney’s The Perfect Dress. “Over the summer, we have scoured thrift stores from Tsawwassen to the Okanagan in order to make sure we have a good selection of appealing books for a wide range of children,” said Hart, who also writes about books for children and young adults on her website storytimestandouts. com. “We are also very grateful for donations of gently used books. Books will rotate through the library so the collection will change regularly.” The venture follows the lead of small neighbourhood pop-up libraries in Vancouver—a trend believed to have started in Wisconsin by Todd Bol. In 2009 Bol installed a wooden box on his front lawn in the shape of a one room schoolhouse as a tribute to his mother—a former school teacher who loved reading. He filled it with books, and a movement was born.

Carolyn Hart recently opened the Lassam Road Children’s Library in Steveston, a free book-sharing service that’s part of a growing trend.

Richmond council offered Port Metro Vancouver a rebuke this week for approving a facility that will introduce two coal barges in the Fraser River each day. “It’s a bad idea—a dumb idea actually,” said Coun. Ken Johnston, speaking at Monday’s council meeting. “We’ve sent the message loud and clear. "We have no control over federal government decisions, but we do our best to give our input.” Last month the port approved a coal terminal at Fraser Surrey Docks, located a few kilometres away from Richmond. Once operational, trains—up to 135 cars long, running almost daily—will deliver coal from Montana and Wyoming in the United States to the Surrey facility. Barges will then tow the coal through the South Arm past Steveston to Texada Island for eventual export to Asia. Four million tonnes of coal will be moved each year. See Page 3
