Salmon Arm libraries have recently become the target of vandals.

It香蕉视频直播檚 not the Okanagan Regional Library branch in the Mall at Piccadillly that has been incurring damage 香蕉视频直播� rather a host of Salmon Arm香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播淟ittle Free Libraries.香蕉视频直播�

The 香蕉视频直播渓ibraries香蕉视频直播� are kiosks, which are kept supplied with donated reading materials free for the taking. Users are also encouraged to borrow a book and replace it with one they no longer need. They have been installed in public spaces around the city to help improve access to books and promote literacy.

In mid-August, the Literacy Alliance of the Shuswap Society (LASS) installed two more of these book kiosks in Salmon Arm, one at Canoe Beach and one at the Little Mountain sports fields.

The first library box was installed outside the LASS office on Alexander Street. LASS members report this box has been very well-used and taken care of by the public, with the exception of one incident over the summer.

Not so with the two new boxes, however.

Both kiosks at Canoe and Little Mountain have been vandalized almost continually, reports the society.

This weekend the Little Mountain library stand, which was generously sponsored by community members, was seriously damaged.

LASS is a non-profit charity and does not have a surplus of funds to repair the structures.

香蕉视频直播淲e will attempt to find funds to repair this library and will look for an inside location to continue to support book sharing in our town. I believe that we can do better in our community,香蕉视频直播� says a Facebook post on the LASS page.
