The Windsor Public Library Board has adopted acceptable and achievable standards for the planning of public library service. With regard to access, community libraries should be available within a 2 kilometre radius of the population to be served. The actual boundaries of a library service area should follow the natural geography of the neighbourhood and consider geographical barriers as well as local walking and traffic patterns.
In support of the City of Windsor's Community Strategic Plan the WPL Board endeavours to locate facilities in an area that is visited by all members of the community in their day-to-day activities and locate facilities within a five minute drive or a twenty minute walk of any person in the catchment area.
When the layer describing a 2km radius around the existing Windsor Public Library facilities is turned on it becomes obvious that there is no library that would serve to meet the Board's access criteria in Fontainebleau.
