In case you missed it... the Bracebridge Library was named as one of the 15 public institutions included in the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario's Transparency Showcase 3.0.

The Showcase brings together innovative projects from public and health-sector organizations across Ontario, showing what openness, access and transparency can look like in practice.
