About the Library
When the Acwsalcta School building was finished in 1997, the library was originally in the multi-purpose room at the entrance of the school where the foyer is now. The beautiful murals of the Two Hunters and Raven always had people in awe as they fell in love with reading in the library. When Acwsalcta first started there weren't that many books to fill all the shelves that were created and built by Al Moody. Over the years of hosting many scholastic book fairs and other book fairs, donations and orders allotted, we accumulated children's books of all ages, teen novels, non fiction books, kits, video's/dvd's, adult novels and teacher resources and magazines. You are more than welcome to come and borrow any one of the books, etc.. After the renovation and extension of Acwsalcta School, the library replaced the small gym that existed. The library hosts reading contests, book fairs, family literacy events, scholastic book clubs just to name a few during the school year. One project that will be ongoing will be filling the library with Nuxalk books and Nuxalk history and of the Nuxalk people.
We honour the passion and work of Tanalus Dana Mack who was our librarian for many years at Acwsalcta before she took her journey to Nusmata. She loved the library, our students, and our community deeply. She will be forever in our hearts.
