Our library is home to one of the many great CAP sites in our province. We take part in sharing our internet services and experience with the public. We do the best that we can to assist those who need help with basic computer and internet skills.

CAP is: "Industry Canada's Community Access Program (CAP) gives thousands of Canadians affordable access to the Internet in places like schools, community centres and libraries. It provides access to those people who might not have computers or Internet access in their homes or workplaces"
