Linking North Central Libraries

By 250 News

The provincial government is providing $88-thousand dollars for the delopment of a North Central Library Federation.

The federation will link libraries from Valemount to Burns Lake and 100 Mile House to Mackenzie.

"Through the federation, the libraries work together to share resources and provide high-quality programs and services," says Education Minister Shirley Bond.  "This will encourage and enable more people in the North Central area to take advantage of their community libraries."

The agreement to create the North Central Library Federation was signed by all 10 public library boards in the region. Library representatives will meet this summer and fall to continue the development of the new federation.

There are currently three other library federations in B.C., including the Public Library InterLINK, the Kootenay Library Federation and the North Coast Library Federation.
