SECTION C
Progress on the Libraries’ Strategic Plan, 2016-2020 Implementing recommendations from the last LSP resulted in an immediate increase of 14 hours across the libraries network at no additional cost to Council. It also saw the removal of charges for use of public internet and wifi. These changes led to a 14% increase in visitation, while internet use almost doubled. Wifi use increased by more than 18 times compared with the previous year. These initiatives extended the libraries’ accessibility for the community, a key theme of the last LSP.
