The Marmora and Lake Public Library Web Pages were originally funded by a Community Access Project grant from Industry Canada in 1997. The application was completed by Marmora and Lake Township CAO Frank Mills, with the assistance of Bob Nichol of Netreach International. A CAP committee of Village of Marmora Reeve Wilma Bush, Frank Mills, Ann Philpot and George Foster worked diligently to get the project up and running throughout 1997 and 1998. In 1999, the CAP project was taken under the jurisdiction of the Library and will continue to serve the residents of this area.
The Federal Industry Canada and Provincial Tourism, Culture & Recreation have provided funding in 2002 to offer high speed cable internet access to four workstations.
