Connectivity Funding
For the last five years, the Ministry of Culture has supported public library connectivity through its Internet and telecommunication connectivity project administered by SOLS. For 2007/08, the Ministry has invested another $660,000 towards this initiative to help support public libraries’ connectivity costs. While $660,000 will not pay for all public libraries’ Internet connectivity, it will allow libraries currently benefiting from this fund to maintain their access and allow more libraries to participate if they meet eligibility requirements.
