The Regional Library’s CEO Laura Emery says the Wi-Fi expansion project is the result of discussions with the Municipality of the District of St. Mary’s.
St. Mary’s District Warden Greg Wier says this is an exciting development, adding it will provide important daily benefits to the community and all persons in the downtown.
Funding to expand Wi-Fi was provided through a Library Development Fund grant from the province’s Communities, Culture, Tourism and Heritage Department.
Emery says they did a soft launch of the service in mid-December
