Books for Beaver River

It took a boy with his eyes on the stars to show that even the best town is a poor town when it has no place for books. In this film Beaver River gets its own library and, in the process, illustrates Saskatchewan's regional library system, which provides book loans at minimum cost to municipality and province.
