We have been very fortunate to have received a substantial bequest from Joe Peters in 2023. We are so grateful to Mr. Peters for considering the Gibsons & District Library Foundation as a recipient of these funds.
One of Joe Peters’ passions in life was books. He was a lifelong learner who valued the endless resources available to him at the Library. He also loved people and appreciated that our Library is a lively community hub. These passions were the inspiration behind his generous legacy to the Foundation.
Part of this generous bequest will be used to finance the Youth Area Enhancement Project. His generous gift will help provide a space for youth to relax in a comfortable setting exploring what the library has to offer.
The balance of Mr. Peters’ bequest will be invested to keep on giving into the future for projects, programs and services the Library requires funding for and will continue to enhance core funding for the Library and enrich the community.
