AMIt’s not known if Greater Vernon’s electoral areas will help keep the library open Sunday. The City of Vernon recently agreed to spend $21,000 so the Okanagan Regional Library’s Vernon branch can stay open Sundays from October to April. Coldstream agreed to provide $3,780, but the Regional District of North Okanagan says it doesn’t have a funding mechanism that would allow it to contribute $3,570. “My discretionary fund is not sufficient and I’ve committed to support other things,” said Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director. The issue will be reviewed further. “I hope in future, they establish a mechanism to give money to the Vernon library, which serves the whole area,” said Bob Spiers, a Vernon director.
