We’ve Moved

You can find us across the street in the former “Brand 66”. Stop in for a visit and check out our amazing new space! You can also check out our blog where we have posted a video tour of the new library. The public computers will not be available till later this month. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank everyone for their patience during our move. A HUGE thank you to all the volunteers who helped with our move. Your time & efforts were very much appreciated.

For every 24 products collected, “Think Recycle” plants a tree on our behalf through “Tree Canada” and there are monetary recycling rewards for our library too.
• Help us win $10,000.00!!! Visit MaxwellHouse.ca to nominate us in their “Brew Some Good” contest. There is an essay as part of the nomination, but it can be short & sweet, no worries! Here's an example:

  “The library and its board are a high energy organization in rural Saskatchewan who has got the usually staid people of Coronach jumping like Arabica beans with new ideas on how to spread literacy, reading and non-sports oriented recreation (crafting, hayrides, teen clubs) for all ages in the community. Not only do they power the community but they empower it to dream big, to have more and to be better than they thought possible given their remote rural location. For more details, visit their blog at Coronach Library Blog at http://coronachpalliserlibrary.blogspot.com/”

  Individuals or organizations from across Canada who have made a difference by helping another person or group of people are eligible to win 1 of 17 grand prizes of $10,000.00!! (March 30th deadline. Must be 18 to make a nomination. Our website is www.palliserlibrary.ca/coronach/coronach.htm which you'll need to fill in the nomination form.)
