Library use on the increase

Residents continue to use library services in the Okanagan.

The Okanagan Regional Library says they have over 106-thousand members, with circulation up 1.7 per cent, and visits up 1.3 per cent.

In presentations being made to Vernon and other municipal councils, chief executive officer Don Nettleton says future plans are to continue adding more digital collections and providing more space for community hubs and gatherings.

“Continuing programming expansion to all ages, increased digital literacy training, and developing and implementing an updated strategic plan are also in the works,” said Nettleton.
