Patrons who enjoy the ease of taking out a book at one Fraser Valley Regional Library and dropping it off at another may see that convenient service end due to a possible provincial funding cut.
Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender, chair of the FVRL board, has requested a meeting with the premier and the minister responsible for funding after the regional libraries didn’t receive the provincial grant in June.
“There is a suggestion the province is looking at eliminating the grants. If that is the case, the shared service like Interlink would not continue,” said Fassbender. “We are concerned. We want to let them know this is very important to us.”
