The library shares the old school with Slocan's Health and Wellness Centre, which includes fitness and training facilities and a medical centre. It is not known how long Slocan has had a library, but the wellness centre opened in the renovated school house in 2006, so it was probably at that time, or shortly thereafter, that this library opened. Further, the library may well have been located elsewhere before moving to this location.
A small library in a small community of approximately 300, it is supported by grants, donations, and public memberships. Yearly membership is a paltry $10.00.
The library doesn't mention Internet availability on its website and was closed when we visited, so were unable to ask any questions of anyone, pertinent or impertinent. For now we'll assume that it does have public internet access as it has an online presence and an online catalog.
The library can be found in the heart of Slocan at:
