The Yukon Government is in the process of evaluating the needs of its 14 community libraries. This Facilities Review will assess the libraries across various measures, looking at community demographics, operations and staffing, public accommodation, collection, and space provisions.
The review will provide the client and others, short and long-term recommendations based on the needs expressed by the libraries as well as general trends in library services.
It will also provide the client and others with a reference manual that can be used to assist in the development of design as well as administrative and organization policies and new services and operational procedures.
This review will additionally provide project approval and funding authorities with a business case, identifying capital and operational costs and include an implementation plan providing a schedule of capital improvements and/or new construction.
