Its administrative headquarters are in Kelowna. The system covers 59,000 square kilometers of area, and serves 360,000 people through 29 branches ORL was founded in 1936. In 2013, the library held 3.2 million physical items.[1] The library is largely funded through tax revenues from four administrative areas, the Regional District of North Okanagan,[2] the Regional District of Central Okanagan, the Columbia-Shuswap Regional District, and the Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen.[3] It also receives funding from the provincial and federal governments. HistoryIn 1935, residents of the Okanagan participated in a referendum to decide whether to start a library system in the valley. After a majority voted "yes", the first Kelowna library, then called the Okanagan Union Library, was constructed. The original collection was 18,000 items, and served a population of about 25,000.[4] References1. ^1 {{Cite journal|url = http://content.yudu.com/Library/A2v4qs/OkanaganRegionalLibr/resources/index.htm|title = Okanagan Regional Library Annual Report, 2013|last = Board of the Okanagan Regional Library|first = |date = 2013|journal = |accessdate = |doi = |page = 5}} 2. ^{{Cite web|url = http://www.rdno.ca/index.php/services/inter-regional-services/okanagan-regional-library|title = Okanagan Regional Library|date = |accessdate = |website = Regional District of North Okanagan|publisher = Regional District of North Okanagan|last = |first = }} 3. ^{{Cite web|url = http://www.rdos.bc.ca/regional-government/other-boards-and-programs/okanagan-regional-library-board/|title = Okanagan Regional Library Board|date = |accessdate = |website = Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen|publisher = Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen|last = |first = }} 4. ^1 {{Cite news|url = http://www.vernonmorningstar.com/community/115996599.html|title = Okanagan library celebrates 75 years|last = |first = |date = Feb 12, 2011|work = Vernon Morning Star|accessdate = }} Further reading
