Partek IT Solutions is used to finding solutions in the IT world for businesses and organizations all over western Canada. Through MHPL’s A Library Card for Every Hatter program, the company is also part of the solution for giving Medicine Hat families access to all that the library has to offer, physically and digitally.
CEO James Parsons and Partek recognize the importance of digital literacy and access to technology in today’s world. He says libraries play a crucial role in providing access to information, educational resources and technological resources.
“Libraries are vital hubs for digital access, from providing public computers to offering online databases, and we’re proud to support this mission. By sponsoring the program, we aim to ensure that more residents of Medicine Hat can benefit from these valuable services and resources,” he says.
The $1,000 sponsorship from Partek makes library cards FREE for 200 adults in Medicine Hat (cards for kids are always free).
Parsons says Medicine Hat Public Library represents a gateway to knowledge and — with our wide range of programs and resources that cater to all age groups — is a cornerstone of our community. In particular and unsurprisingly, he sees the library as a beacon of digital inclusivity.
“It’s more than just a place for books — it’s a critical resource for anyone needing access to technology, whether for education, job searching or staying connected in an increasingly digital world. The library embodies the value of technology as a tool for personal and community growth, accessible education, and the value of nurturing a well-informed and connected community.”
