And that’s something that’s worth celebrating. The library will be holding a special mini-fair on Monday, July 3 at their South Hill location at 366 Coteau St. West, with the event featuring a range of activities and things to do as Palliser

While the South Hill location isn’t a library per se, it acts as the central hub for all the locations outside of Moose Jaw, offering support services that include training, payroll administration and coordination of province-wide resource sharing. That aspect -- the ability to source books from libraries all over Saskatchewan -- is one of the major parts of their activities. “If you order a book from Saskatoon or Regina, we’re the ones who EULQJ LW LQ ´ 5XGROSK H[SODLQHG ³:H¶YH
really emphasized resource sharing, regional libraries are the core of that, and it helps us offer our communities many more options than they’d have otherwise.” And their services are very much appreciated -- despite the south central region population decreasing in the past 50 years, usage of Palliser Regional Library has only grown. “People are still using our services, and all the branches that have opened in the region since then have done so with the help of Palliser Regional Library,” Rudolph said. That all leads to July 3, which will see all the action taking place in the Palliser Regional Library parking lot from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. “So we’re hoping we’ll see a lot of people come out and have a good time,” Rudolph said.
