B.C. will be hit with a $515,000 cut in funding
to 135 Community Access Program sites
in public libraries across the province.

Public libraries use CAP funding to bridge the digital divide between those Canadians who cannot get or afford access to electronic information and those Canadians whose access to information is as accessible as their home computer and high speed internet connection.  There will be less support for finding information on the internet and developing search skills as financially stretched libraries scramble to find funds to keep programs going and computers upgraded. In particular, the needs of seniors, rural residents without high speed internet access, low income families, tourists, seasonal workers, and youth will be affected by the CAP funding cuts.
