The Community Access Program (CAP) was developed by Industry Canada to help communities in Canada's rural and remote settings obtain affordable public access to the Internet and the skills to use it effectively. Access to the Information Highway will help create new and exciting opportunities for growth and jobs by providing these communities with the ability to communicate with each other, conduct business, and enhance job skills and exchange information and ideas.

We have 3 CAP sites located at our three libraries: Flesherton, Kimberley, and Markdale. Our goal is to provide affordable public access to the internet as well as the skills to use it effectively, and to serve as a resource centre for information, education, recreation and culture. In doing so, we hope to allow our community to take advantage of new communication technologies, and encourage economic and social growth. The computers are available for members of the public to use.

Free internet lessons will be available in the fall of 2007at all three branches! Sign up at the front desk or call for further information.
