TNRL seeking feedback in first review of mobile library since 2016

The Thompson-Nicola Regional Library (TNRL) will be seeking feedback for another two weeks as it prepares to review the Mobile Library service for the first time in a decade.

Launched in 1973, the TNRL’s Mobile Library predates the inception of the library system in 1974. The service has evolved to meet the changing needs of communities, the TNRL added, noting the last Mobile Library service review was done in 2016.

“From Avola to Lytton, the Mobile Library travels across the Thompson-Nicola region and is active in many of the communities we serve,” Melissa Lowenberg, the TNRL’s Manager of Community Libraries and Engagement, said, in a statement.

“We look forward to hearing from residents about their experience with the Mobile Library service.”

The survey will remain open until Sunday, Jan. 18, and it can be completed online here. Paper copies of the survey are also available at all Mobile Library stops or at any TNRL branch.

According to the TNRL, the Mobile Library circulates nearly 25,000 materials annually. It travels more than 25,000 kilometres each year, and makes 29 stops at rural and urban communities like Merritt and others within the TNRD.
