Your Support is Needed
Since 1995, the Government of Canada has provided CAP (Community Access Program) funding to public libraries to help provide Canadians with access to the Internet. This funding has allowed Huron County Library to provide public computers and other equipment in all our branches.
At the end of March 2012, Industry Canada ceased its funding support for public libraries as Community Access Program sites.
Financial support of CAP has been critical to our branches and going forward, we will be faced with the possibility of reduced equipment and service. We believe that the public continues to need CAP assistance as much as ever, as many families, for economic reasons, still lack home computers or home Internet access.
Has CAP made a difference to you or someone you know? We want to hear your stories and well will send those messages to Industry Canada. Drop off your CAP Support submissions at any branch of Huron County Library or e-mail [email protected].

Free public access computers are available at all 12 branches of The Huron County Library, in partnership with the Huron Community Access Program. Training sessions are frequently offered at each library CAP site and self-guided tutorials are available.
