The InterLink program covers the Fraser Valley, Greater Vancouver, and areas up to Pemberton and Lillooet.

Grant Ward of the Township of Langley will continue for the second term as chair of the board, Michael Wright, a councillor from Port Coquitlam, will be vice-chair, Helen Fathers of White Rock is treasurer, and Jeannie Kanakos of Delta will the representative to the BC Library Trustees Association.
