North Central Shared Facility
The North Central Shared Facility Open House & BBQ will be held Saturday, October 3rd at
Albert Scott Community Centre, 7th Ave & Athol Street. It will be a come and go event from 1:00 PM to 4:30 PM with displays and drawings of the new facility, and an opportunity to talk to project leaders and partner organizations. The facility is intended to provide services from a shared facility focused on youth and families. Albert Library is part of this partnership between community, schools and service providers. The concept designs have been developed, and the idea has received general approval, but there is concern about the decision that has been made to demolish the historic Scott Collegiate building. See our News page Prince of Wales Library Visioning Session Resource Planning Group Inc. of Vancouver has been chosen to design the new Prince of Wales Library. A Public Meeting will be held at 7 PM on Tuesday, October 6th at St. Augustine Community School, located at 2343 Edgar Street. This will be a visioning session to gather the ideas of community residents and RPL users about the library design. See our News page New Central Library - Concept Designs The RPL hired P3 Architecture Ltd. and Harvard Developments Inc. of Regina to lead the redesign of Central Library. The plan will either replace or expand and renovate the current building. The RPL hopes this will be part of a mixed use development. Some consultations have been held already and a further opportunity to comment on the concept design will occur in late November. Public input is needed as this will be a major development changing the entire block bounded by Victoria Avenue, Lorne Street, 6th Avenue and Smith Street. It will affect the Mason’s Building, Westminster Church and the Federal Building. See our News page One Hundred Year History of the Regina Public Library In commemoration of the Regina Public Library’s 100-year anniversary, the Friends of the RPL are undertaking a history book on the past hundred years of the Regina Public Library, in partnership with the RPL and the Canadian Plains Research Center. The history project will include excerpts from oral histories of former RPL staff, essays by library staff and library supporters, archival documents and photos.
