Courthouse Library Closures
Due to courthouse closures around the province, the BC Courthouse Library Society (BCCLS) will close 14 branch libraries on or before May 30, 2002. Wherever possible, BCCLS will donate the collections to libraries and colleges based in those affected communities, to ensure access to the resources for the legal community as well as the public.

Increased Hours At Regional Branch Libraries
BCCLS has increased staffing schedules at six regional libraries to provide increased reference service. Kelowna and Nanaimo are now fully staffed Mondays to Thursdays; New Westminster is staffed Monday to Friday; and Kamloops, Prince George and Victoria all have replacement staff to provide increased library services.
