December 10 2007 Fort Nelson Public Library becomes second member of BC PINES

The British Columbia PINES program welcomes the Fort Nelson Public Library as its newest member. Working with Equinox Software, the BC PINES team was able to migrate the library into the consortium-wide shared Evergreen ILS instance.

Founded in 1805, Fort Nelson was originally a fur trading post named after Lord Nelson, who was victorious in the Battle of Trafalgar that same year. Located near mile 300 on the Alaska Highway in the Northern Rockies, the library served 46,299 circulations to its 6,255 person population in 2006.
