Wyoming, ON – Looking for information about the Government of Ontario ministries, programs and services? Lambton County Library is hosting a ServiceOntario Week October 19 to 25, to let residents know how easy it is to access government information, applications and forms on the ServiceOntario website with enhanced help at your library.
“Libraries are a great place to find government information and access is made easier with the assistance of our local library staff,” says Susie Beynon, Public Services Manager. “Well-trained staff are available to assist in navigating through the ServiceOntario and other websites and to provide direction on where answers might be found.”
During the week, all participants will receive free library book bags, bookmarks, pens, and brochures as well as access and search instructions for the ServiceOntario website.
A special celebration will take place at the Sarnia Library on Thursday, October 23, from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. featuring the launch of two technology initiatives. The adaptive technology initiative is a screen-reading and screen-magnifiying software program that will be available in all libraries except Mooretown. Eight libraries will also feature electronic bulletin boards which essentially are digital signs used to promote ServiceOntario services as well as library information and branch events.
Online services available through www.ServiceOntario.caat Libraries includes, applying for a birth, marriage or death certificate, vehicle registration renewal, business name registration, master business license, book a road test, reserve a campsite at provincial parks, renew your outdoors card, change the address for your health card, driver’s license and outdoors card and a wide range of other government services.
ServiceOntario has partnered with about 400 public and First Nation libraries and Band Offices in rural, remote and urban communities to improve access to government services and information through ServiceOntario's website at www.serviceontario.ca. Library/Band Office staff can help patrons navigate the ServiceOntario website to find the information and services they need.
