Scores of residents, politicians and kids celebrate inside Alleyn-et-Cawood’s new library at Danford Lake, which got a near $30,000 facelift this fall through a grant from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. The library’s renovation was completed on Nov. 22, and the public was invited to explore the cozy reading nooks, browse the library’s expanded collections and use the updated technology. The celebration was kicked off by Danford Lake Mayor Carl Mayer, who was joined by fellow councillors and residents.

Jondee in Danford Lake. Photo: courtesy Alleyn-et-Cawood
