The Government of Saskatchewan has proclaimed October 15-21 as Saskatchewan Library Week to recognize the role libraries play in fostering creativity and life-long learning. Under the theme Libraries Matter, the goal of this year’s library week is to encourage literacy, bring communities together and promote cultural awareness in Saskatchewan.
During that event, Deputy Minister Currie kicked off the 2017 Saskatchewan Library Week, delivering the proclamation certificate to the Saskatchewan Library Association President, Michael Shires. The Saskatchewan Library Association has proudly sponsored Saskatchewan Library Week since 1976.
“Libraries continue to be at the forefront of providing vital programs and services for people of all ages and cultural backgrounds,” Saskatchewan Library Association President Michael Shires said. “Through programs such as English as a Second Language for newcomers, after school homework clubs for teens, and family reading times for children, libraries provide much needed support for building strong communities of literacy.”
More than 25 special projects and events will be occurring across the province during the week, including public readings in three northern libraries by award winning Cree poet Louise Bernice Halfe, who will also be delivering writing workshops in local high schools. For the first time ever, promotional materials are available in the Cree language.
Now in its fourth year, the Book Spine Poetry Contest typically attracts more than 1,000 entries and is especially popular in schools.
