As of January 13, 2010, we are part of a new, province-wide system. We are issuing new library cards, which can be used at any public library in the province. (Note that not all regions are on the new system yet, but will be coming up in the future. Currently Palliser Region, Southeast Region, Saskatoon, and Regina are online.)
If you don't have your new card yet, you can stop by the library and we will update your record and issue you a new card. Let us know if you'd like to sign up for email notifications for overdues, holds, etc.
Also, check out the new catalogue: http://catalog.sasklibraries.ca
Learn more about SILS, new features, and changes to loan periods, fines, etc.

Writer's Workshop
We are pleased to announce that we will be holding an author reading and writer's workshop with Saskatchewan author Rebecca Grambo on March 6 & 7!
"This beginning- to advanced-level creative writing class will give you lots of brainstorming ideas and help you find starting points for expressing your thoughts. Whether you write fiction, non-fiction, poetry or song lyrics, you'll enjoy and benefit from this workshop. We'll look at choosing words to tell your story and learning to describe objects, people, places and emotions. This class is a great starting point for beginning writers and a creative re-energizer for those who have been writing for awhile.
"Rebecca Grambo is the author of 26 non-fiction books for adults and children as well as innumerable magazine articles. She currently writes a regular column for Acreage Life. An accomplished speaker and teacher, Ms. Grambo provides entertaining and very accessible readings, talks, and workshops for audiences ranging from Grade 1 students to Seniors' groups." - Saskatchewan Writer's Guild
If you would like more information, you can call the library at 567-2022 or email us and we will send you a copy of the poster (PDF format): davidson@palliser.lib.sk.ca
