Come Out and Support Your Libraries
On April 15th, 5:30 pm the Regina City Council will be debating and receiving presentations about the Regina Library Board's budget submission. We are not sure how soon after 5:30 pm it will happen, but it will be early in the evening.
The Friends of the Regina Public Library will be making a presentation to Regina City Council supporting the 3.9% increase and other items. For a transcript of our presentation, find the pdf file at www.regina.ca/meetings.php3 after April 11th.
Prior to attending the Council meeting, we would also encourage you to call your City Councillor and get his(her) opinion on the RPL Budget and encourage them to support the budget. For their telephone number either call 777-7000 or get it in the blue pages of the telephone book.
If you want to provide a letter of support for our libraries, you can have it recorded in the city's agenda for the evening if you provide the written or typed letter to City Hall by noon, April 10th. Either drop it off at the 15th Floor of City Hall or call 777-7262 and get details about sending it to them electronically or by fax.

One Hundred Year History of the Regina Public Library The Friends of Regina Public Library are sponsoring a history book project in partnership with the Regina Public Library and the Canadian Plains Research Center, commemorating the hundredth anniversary of the library.
Using a variety of perspectives and sources, including personal essays, archival materials and historical analysis, the project is intended to be a social history of the Regina Public Library in the context of a changing city. Sections will focus on how the library has reflected the community’s evolving needs and interests through Branch development and such innovative programming as the Dunlop Art Gallery, art rentals, the Prairie History Room, a film collection and the RPL Film Theatre.
The book is scheduled for publication in the Fall of 2009. The co-editors are Susan Birley, Anne Campbell and Jeannie Mah.
