A reminder that to accommodate an electrical upgrade to the building, the Penticton Library and Penticton Museum will be closed from May 31st and will reopen on July 3rd.
During the closure, the Library’s physical collections and book returns will not be available. All due dates will be extended through June until the facility is reopened.
