As some of our residents are aware, the Provincial Government’s cut backs have resulted in the total cancellation of the Library’s annual grant.  We have depended on this grant of $3500.00 per year to allow us to buy our books and supplies.  This means that we will have to find other methods of raising this short fall, be it through other grant applications, raising annual fees, donations etc, in order to keep the Library functioning. 

The Library has been part of Lions Bay for the last 28 years and while we have seen a drop in readership the past few years we sincerely hope that we can, by working to-gether, keep the doors open. We have a group of loyal members of all ages who experience the benefits of using the Library.                                                                                                          

We have also approached our Council to see if they would be able to assist with this problem as well but we all know that monies everywhere are in short supply.

We have been able to purchase some books for our new book section and suggest that we also look at reading some of our best known writers like McCall Smith, James Patterson, and Wilbur Smith. Also in non-fiction there are some wonderful real adventure stories available.  So come, visit us and go home with some of our books.
