When offering a new pool
An email is sent to Ontario public libraries to promote a new pool and gather a commitment from libraries.
Each pool will have their own individual committees, comprised of members from Northern and Southern libraries and a staff member from OLS-North. Each committee is tasked with creating the terms and conditions, procedures and costs for their pool.
Note: OLS - North requires 10 libraries to sign up for each pool offered before we can commit to running it.
New Literacy Pool
Ontario Library Service - North is pleased to announce the creation of an Adult Literacy Pool available to all Ontario Public Libraries. Alpha Plus has donated the bulk of their collection to OLS-North to develop a rotating pool to libraries who wish to participate.
This pool will consist of English adult books made up of fiction, non-fiction and educational material such as math and spelling
There will a small administrative fee of $25.00 to cover the cost of supplies. In addition there will be a postage fee which will be determined based on library participation and actual cost. Rotation will start in the Fall 2008. We think this is an excellent opportunity for all libraries and we would like to thank Alpha Plus for making this possible.
