The Peachland Library will reopen Tuesday, after two months of closure.

The library has been shut since April 5, when an SUV driven by a 72-year-old woman rammed through its window and into the building.

Witnesses at the scene on the day of the crash said the vehicle sped through the parking lot at a high rate of speed, to head straight into the building.

Five women, including the driver, and one man were injured in the crash. The 56 year old man had to undergo surgery for his injuries.

The repairs needed for the facility were extensive, thus the time needed to re-open.

No word as of yet on the status of the investigation into the crash.
