SACOMMUNITY AT YOUR LIBRARY

As part of a project with Public Library Services, SAcommunity data is discoverable through the shared 'one card' library catalogue across the state. Library staff and patrons are now easily able to find information they need through books and other resources but also related local services that can help them and that provide opportunities for them to participate in their community.
