STEVEN MAH/SOUTHWEST BOOSTER The Swift Current Broncos have advanced to the Western Hockey League Championship for the first time since 1993 following a gritty six game Eastern Conference series win over the Lethbridge Hurricanes. The Broncos reached the next round after earning a 5-1 win over the Hurricanes in Game Six on Monday, the first time Lethbridge lost at home this post season. Pictured above, Swift Current Broncos forward Tyler Steenbergen (left) leaned on Lethbridge’s Ty Prefontaine during game five on Saturday.

SCOTT ANDERSON SOUTHWEST BOOSTER

The storied history of the Swift Current Library is being celebrated during 100th anniversary of the long running city amenity. Swift Current’s initial Li- brary Board was formed back in 1918, and shortly after a reading room was opened in the former City Hall on May 14, 1918. Swift Current’s first library was situated in the base- ment of the old City Hall, and there were 440 books available for early patrons to peruse. “Its been really, really interesting,” admitted Andrea McCrimmon, Manager of the Swift Current Branch Library. “I hadn’t really delved to much into the history until this past year. And we’ve had some really interesting things in our SCOTT ANDERSON/SOUTHWEST BOOSTER history.” Swift Current Branch Library Manager Andrea McCrimmon was joined by members of the Swift Current Library Board and Mayor Denis Perrault During the early years of the at a flag raising on April 30 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Swift Current Library. library they got by with an an- And having made a trip do.” people all day.
