Why is involvement in FRPL important?
FRPL and Regina residents have been successful, and the Regina Library Branches that were threatened with closure, the Dunlop Art Gallery and the Prairie History Room are still going strong! But there are on-going issues that continue to need attention.

Active and positive public interest and involvement with libraries helps those who make decisions about libraries understand the needs of our diverse community and provide the best service. Groups and individuals have many skills and resources that can help keep our libraries open and help them continue to develop as democratic, accessible community, literacy and cultural centres.

One good thing the library closure crisis did was to bring people closer together as a community. Many people told stories about how the library played a crucial role in their childhood and in the life of their family. Hearing these stories has led to the creation of the library history book project.
