Collingwood Public Library: Possible East Vancouver Modernist Landmark?

Collingwood Public Library has been rejected for heritage status and refurbishment. This branch is a rare example of Modernism in East Vancouver, and was important when it came to Modernist library design in the region, even influencing successive designs in the region.

Please send your letters of support for preservation and refurbishment to city hall at mayorandcouncil@vancouver.ca -- messages will be forwarded to councilors and the mayor, and to the library chairperson at board@vpl.ca. Any help will be most appreciated -- thanks in advance!
