Richmond - The Editor, Re: "Onni update: Steveston waterfront library gaining traction," News, April 9. The notion to locate a public library in one of Onni's buildings, currently zoned for maritime-related use, on the Steveston waterfront is the best idea put forward, ever! What a lovely setting for citizens who want to relax and learn more about our world and, in particular, Steveston's history.Just picture it, maritime themed decor and a section of books, publications, recordings and more, focusing on our rich history of colourful multicultural waterfront roots - perfect! As a Steveston resident who regularly uses both the library and the gym at our local community centre, it has been apparent to me for quite some time that both facilities are too small and overcrowded.The space freed up by the library in the community centre could be used to expand the gym. Wow! I love it! Great Idea!Christine DurgoRichmond
