The TNRD library system has recently increased its French collection, thanks to the financial support of the province of British Columbia through the Regional District of Nanaimo and the Canada-British Columbia Cooperation Agreement on official languages for the additional purchase of French material.
“La bibliotheque du district regional Thompson-Nicola reconnait le soutien financier de la province de la Colombie-Briannique par le biais du district regional de Nanaimo et de l'Entente de collaboration Canada-Colombie Britannique en matiere des langues officielles pour l'achat supplementaire de materiel en francais.”
The increased French collection is primarily focused on children's and youth material and should better meet the needs of the local Francophone community as well as those students enrolled in French Immersion and their families.
The new French titles will be housed at the North Kamloops and Kamloops libraries, but will be available at any of the Library system's branches.
