Plan of Service 2023 – 2027
The Athabasca County Library Board adopted a Plan of Service that is meant to serve as a working document to provide a focus and direction for the types of services offered to all those who use libraries in the region. A new Plan of Service is created every 5 years to ensure services are meeting the needs of residents. The document was developed using a new process recommended by the Public Libraries Services Branch.
