Founded in 1967, the Western Manitoba Regional Library System provides public library service to the communities of the City of Brandon, the Towns of Carberry and Neepawa, the Village of Glenboro, and the Rural Municipalities of North Cypress, South Cypress and Langford, the town of Hartney and the Rural Municipality of Cameron. The Library is financially supported by a library tax levied by each of these communities and by operating grants from the provincial government of Manitoba. The day-to-day policies and operations of its four branch libraries are governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees composed of representatives from each area.

The library was established in 1974 with the Official Opening taking place on November 2nd of that same year. It began on the second floor of the old brick school which also housed the museum. It soon became apparent that there was a need for easier access to the library and a new site would fit the bill. In 1983 as a centennial project a new library was built and found a permanent home on Main Street. Through the years there have been many changes, mostly in the field of technology, but the library's basic principle to provide the best service to our community remains the same.
The Parkland Regional Library Service originated in 1970 as a library demonstration project funded and administered by the Province of Manitoba. The terms of reference for the experimental project were to test ways and means to provide efficient yet effective library service to rural Manitobans. In fulfilling its mandate the project brought library service, in one form or another, to virtually every community in the Parkland region.
The goal of Lakeland Regional Library is to provide local residents with materials and programs conveying ideas and information necessary for modern community life.
