Draft agendas https://www.reginalibrary.ca/about/leadership/board-meetings-2026
These were not posted Friday at noon, as outlined on the RPL website, but only posted Saturday at 7 pm after a prompting email from FRPL.
The regular meeting agenda includes
7. a) iii) Strategic Plan (2026-28) – Three Year Deliverables
and
8. Contracts (a hidden way to list the discussion of Central Library building plans)
The RPL had a Request for Qualification this fall but was only available to those who could access SaskTenders. This is a violation of accountability.
The RFQ contained a lot of detail. leading to a demand for much more building space.
The RPL will pick 3 or 4 developers from the applicants to go ahead with developing a design. This essentially chooses the nature of the design. This was to be done in January, so probably before the Jan 27th meeting.
Supposedly all options are open but the RPL is leaving it up to the developers suggestions. NOT saying we definitely want the building preserved.
