Victoria Day Weekend

readingbears

Enjoy the long weekend!  Curl up with a book or get outside and have an adventure!

Why not join us at the library on Saturday afternoon at 2:30 to watch Frankenweenie  (87 min., PG) and pick up some books and movies to get you through the next two days, because the library will be closed on Sunday May 19 and Monday May 20.

Did you know Victoria Day is a federal Canadian public holiday, and is always celebrated on the last Monday before May 25 in honour of Queen Victoria’s birthday.  This holiday is also the date when we recognize Queen Elizabeth II’s birthday (she turned 87 this year), and marks the beginning of summer for many people.

City of Prince Albert Transit Survey

The City of Prince Albert is conducting a transit survey.  It is open to all bus riders and non-riders.  The City is looking for input from both groups to help shape improvements and changes to the bus system.

The survey will take an average of 15 minutes to complete, you can take it here.

For taking the time to complete the survey, you have an opportunity to have your name placed in a draw for a free bus pass.  Please include your contact informaiton at the end of the survey to ensure your name goes into the draw.

If you have any questions or comments about the survey, please contact Keri Sexsmith, Transit Manager for the City of Prince Albert, at ksexsmith@citypa.com

Thank you for taking the time to give feedback on the City’s transit services.

Reference Collection On the Move

We are currently working on moving our reference collection books to be shelved together with the other adult non-fiction.  This will make it easier for you to find the topics you’re looking for – all in one place.

Reference items will still be marked with a big yellow “R” on the spine, and can be used in library only.

If you have any questions or need assistance finding anything, see our friendly staff at the Information Desk.
