Get Involved

Why is involvement in FRPL important?

FRPL and Regina residents have been successful, and the Regina Library Branches that were threatened with closure, the Dunlop Art Gallery and the Prairie History Room are still going strong! And in fact a new Prince of Wales Branch building has recently been opened by the RPL.

But there are on-going issues that continue to need attention.

Active and positive public interest and involvement with libraries helps those who make decisions about libraries understand the needs of our diverse community and provide the best service. Groups and individuals have many skills and resources that can help keep our libraries open and help them continue to develop as democratic, accessible community, literacy and cultural centres.
