Celebrating Library Week in Saskatchewan

Released on October 20, 2014

Education Minister Don Morgan has proclaimed October 19 to 25 as Saskatchewan Library Week.  This year’s theme, "Libraries Inspire:, will encourage all Saskatchewan citizens to look to their local libraries for resources in their pursuit of life-long learning.

“We have more than 1,000 libraries across Saskatchewan, and each one offers literacy and learning opportunities for everyone,” Morgan said.  “The dedicated library staff and trustees are doing tremendous work contributing to stronger communities in our province by promoting culture, education and literacy excellence.”

The Saskatchewan Library Association (SLA) is a non-profit organization which aims to further the development of library services in Saskatchewan.  SLA is hosting the Saskatchewan Library Week kickoff event on Tuesday October 21, 7 p.m. at the Regina Civic Museum, featuring Saskatchewan’s poet laureate Judith Krause, and a celebrity poetry contest.

“Libraries in Saskatchewan are offering more dynamic services than ever before,” SLA president Gwen Schmidt said.  “From support of inquiry learning in school libraries, to seamless borrowing of books between university and college libraries through the Reciprocal Borrowing Program, to the addition of downloadable NNELS audiobooks for people with print disabilities and the addition of downloadable e-books in other languages for newcomers, the people of Saskatchewan are benefiting from the creative and strategic collaborations that libraries and their staff strive to develop and make user-friendly every day.  I am always proud of the work we do here, and most especially during Saskatchewan Library Week.”

Saskatchewan Library Week is held annually in conjunction with Education Week and has been co-ordinated and sponsored by the SLA since 1976.
