The North Battleford Library has seen its membership numbers grow substantially in the past year, thanks to new services and an increase of computers.
In a report to city council on Jan, 23 North Battleford Library over 600 adults and 150 youth became new members of the library last year. The report also noted computer use was up 78 per cent at the library from the same timeframe as last year.
Eleanor Crumblehulme, director of Lakeland Library region, points to the fact that the library has been able to change with the times and offer services that are in demand.
“This region is a sizeable area mostly rural and while we are a little bit behind the trend of usage of electronic materials we are still seeing significant growth elsewhere,” says Crumblehulme.
