Help Rebuild the Slave Lake Library

2011-05-20T09:45:00.000-07:00

Alberta author Judith Graves recently blogged about efforts to rebuild the Slave Lake library, which was destroyed in a fire just days ago. We all understand how important our libraries are to our communities, and if we all do just a little, we can make this happen.

Details of how you can help (with donations of books or funds) can be found on the Peace Library System website.

Please consider helping out with this worthy project.
