History
Nanoose Library
When the Nanoose Library Centre first opened on September 27, 1974 after two years of intense work and help from the New Horizons Grant of $11,500 from the Federal Government, it was in a rented log cabin that was the summer home of Mr. and Mrs. Edmonds, with a gift of 1,000 books donated by Mr. Gordon N. Greene. In August, 1975 the property was purchased by the Friends of Nanoose Library Centre under Provincial Charter and in June, 1978, the addition of the activity room was officially opened.
Various classes were held in handicrafts, art, fitness, discussions, country dancing, a monthly dinner club and so on. At one time, a ten-week course on Gardening was held and proved very successful. So much interest was raised that those attending decided to form a club which would meet on a monthly basis.
The original name of the club was Nanoose Amateur Gardeners Ideas Exchange and it was called NAGIE for many years. The club met on the first Friday of the month from 1:30 to 3:30 pm. The members insisted that it should be very informal and just cover discussions on successes or failures in members’ gardens, though soon guest speakers were invited and trips to visit members’ gardens became a very popular feature. There was no annual subscription but membership was restricted to members of the library. Since that subscription was only $1 per year, it did not prove a hardship. In exchange for rent-free accommodation, NAGIE gave the library half the profit of the annual plant sale and looked after the garden although the heavy work was done by male volunteers. This donation rarely covered what would be charged for rent!
In 1984 NAGIE bought a mike and equipment which was to be lent to the library for fund-raising events. In 1986 the club consisted of 36 members, who held pot luck suppers and a BBQ on Rathtrevor Beach.
Over time, the club divided between members who wanted to meet in the evenings and to those who wanted to retain the first Friday afternoons so on February 12, 19
