VOL. 87 NO. 45 PMR #40007604 Spiritwood, Saskatchewan Thursday, November 7, 2019 www.spiritwoodherald.com Spiritwood librarian celebrates 40-year milestone
There is something unique about every small town in this country, an annual event, a monument or statue, a quirky dish from a local diner. Despite the differences from town to town, there is a common thread that can be drawn that con- nects each one; the people that make it turn. There are many such charac- ters in Spiritwood, from the re- cently retired Dave Hyndman at the Spiritwood Herald to Joyce Willick at the rink, people who have dedicated themselves to their work in this town. On Friday, Nov. 1 a celebration was held for another one of these amazing people, Joyce Carri- ere, the Spiritwood librarian. Joyce was born in a house across the street from where the library stands today. Her family moved into town from the farm when she was seven years old. When the library and its first li- brarian, Mrs. Mary Cook, came to town in 1961, Joyce’s father made sure that all the children in the family had a library card and learned to read. Joyce joined the library board while she worked as a babysitter in her earlier years and eventu- ally got the job as the librar-
