In 1986, 21 municipalities formed a partnership that created Peace Library System. They believed access to library services should be equal and universal and wanted to ensure the patrons in small, rural libraries had the same high-quality library service enjoyed in larger, urban centres.
Working cooperatively with 39 municipalities and 46 public libraries, Peace Library System stays on top of the trends and changes in the library world to assist libraries in offering the best possible services to their patrons. They provide a means for independent libraries to work together in order to maximize value and minimize costs. Our library is a member of Peace Library System and benefits from its shared resources.
