The Slocan Valley Library Service pilot project is now completed. It was made possible by a grant from the BC Ministry of Education and in partnership with Area H, the Nelson Municipal Library, School District 8 and the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy.

For 3 months in Spring 2009 and 3 months in Fall 2009, the Nelson Municipal Library provided library service at the Winlaw School on Thursday evenings from 6:30-8:30 p.m. CBAL organized programs and the Nelson Library provided training for its online resources. Patrons were able to browse a collection of books at the Winlaw School and request specific items be sent out from the Nelson Library. The service was well received and appreciated by those who used it.
