The Penticton Public Library reports to the City of
Penticton through a Library Board which is appointed by the Mayor and Council.
The City of Penticton provides ongoing funding for the Library. When School
District No. 15 (Penticton) was formed in 1946, Penticton automatically became
part of the Okanagan Union Library, a regional library established in 1936. In
1953 the Union Library changed its name to the Okanagan Regional Library. In
1969, Penticton left the Okanagan Regional Library system and became an
independent municipal library. The Penticton Public Library Association,
established ca. 1922, became the Penticton Public Library Board in 1969. Today,
the Penticton Public Library also services the West Bench. |
