City ready to take next step in creating its own library system
Prince Albert is ready to take the next step in establishing its own library system.
To streamline the administrative process, the city of Prince Albert is moving forward with the process to create a new, municipal library. At Monday’s executive committee meeting, city council formally received correspondence from the province confirming their intent to create a new municipal boundary.
Alex Juorio, director of the John M. Cuelenaere Public Library, said the decision has been in the works for some time and every day brings new questions and challenges for the library. When asked if a new municipal library system in P.A. would give residents the same access to collections and books from around the province, Juorio was optimistic.
“No one really knows, but in theory yes,” he said, “no one has really tried this in Saskatchewan.”
