Okanagan Regional Library will reveal its new brand and will hold a community event to showcase the renovations done to the branch.

Okanagan Regional Library has been awarded a Central Okanagan Foundation grant to continue it's Americal Sign Language Story Time program at the Rutland Library. The Central Okanagan Foundation is a community foundation providing an ongoing contribution to the quality of life in our community through building endowments, grant making and community leadership. We bring donors and charities together to provide for the needs of the community today, tomorrow and forever.

Because of customer feedback, there is a slight change in the hours during which the ORL provides Wi-Fi access.​ The ORL will now be providing free Wi-Fi access beginning at 6:30 AM and ending at 9:30 PM, each day.

Beginning Sunday, July 30th Mission Library will be open every Sunday from 11 am – 3 pm, and on Wednesdays, it will remain open until 8 pm.

We repaired the walls, installed new windows, changed the carpet and replaced damaged furniture. Our spirits are high, and we can't wait to see you in the Library.

The Peachland Branch of the Okanagan Regional Library is currently temporarily closed for repairs.

Local government has many priorities seeking tax dollars, and we want to recognize all three jurisdictions for their decision to contribute to learning and literacy in the Keremeos, Cawston, and Olalla areas.

Damage from a roof leak is impacting our service to you. The Oliver library branch is open during its regular hours, but with limited service because there is no access to the main part of the library. Public are invited to pick up holds, renew or return items, and borrow from a small selection of books and other items. We hope to have two 15 minute public internet stations (one with a printer) available on Tuesday, January 31. We expect access to our full library collection and services will return to normal on Tuesday, February 7.

Due to flooding, the Oliver library branch is closed January 20, and re-opening with limited service January 21 for hold pickups and item returns.

Though library branches may be closed over the holidays, our online library is always open! Stay cozy and warm inside while delighting in free movies, magazines, eBooks, eAudiobooks, and more – all available through your library website with library membership.
