Library Budget

The Kenora Public Library says its still plays a crucial role in the community despite the emergence of new technologies.

Erin Roussin is the head librarian and says they have seen an increase in demand for their services during this economic downturn.

The Library Board has requested an additional 50 thousand dollars from city council in 2010 to cover their costs.

Last year, the city provided just over a half a million dollars to the library for its annual grant.
