Details of Your Organization’s Grant Request
Nature and goals of the project, program or event: We are entering our 79th year of providing library services to the town. We now have a new Library Management System and our catalogue is online.
Summary of direct and indirect benefits to the Town of View Royal: Our patrons are able to access newly released books before they are available from the public library. We custom order books for patrons. We are also a "dropping off" point for people purging their books. We use what we can and sell or pass on the rest.
