About the RISE Network
The RISE Network is an innovative project that helps southern Albertans access the information they need, right from their local library.
By equipping 78 libraries with videoconference equipment, people in 89 municipalities can gain new knowledge and skills through a wide-range of library-based programs and information sessions.
The RISE Network (originally the Rural Information Services initiativE) is a project of Chinook Arch, Marigold and Shortgrass Library Systems.
Funding for the RISE Network has been gratefully received from Rural Alberta’s Development Fund, The Public Library Development Initiative, The Alberta Library as well as private sources.
More information on the RISE Network is provided in the RISE Overview (March 2011).
