North Shore library drop off

With community grant funding, and great new partners at Kokanee Park Marina, the Nelson Public Library says that delivery services have expanded to the North Shore.

Nelson Public Library users can now place requests for materials by emailing or phoning the library and the library will send your books to the Kokanee Park Marina store to be picked up.

The Nelson Public Library said items the public has completed using can be returned at the marina during business hours.

“Having a pickup/drop off service at the Kokanee Store will be great for this part of Area E, as it increases our access to the exciting materials the library provides,” said North Shore resident Lisa Tremblay.

For years, the Nelson Library has facilitated a weekly pick up and drop off service at the Steller Vista Credit Union in Slocan Park.

This popular service makes borrowing materials easier for folks in the Valley.

Valley readers looking for recommendations or support services from a trusty librarian are also welcomed to visit the Slocan Community Park Hall one Tuesday of every month, when the library sets up a “mobile library” with lots of good reads to select from.

The Nelson Library is committed to making access to its services easier for its rural users, realizing that it is not always easy to make a trip in town, or to add visiting the library to your long list of things to do on town days.
