ASSINIBOIA & DISTRICT PUBLIC LIBRARY

An Area Resource Centre of Palliser Regional Library

Our Library

Our new Library is open and located in the new Prince of Wales Cultural & Recreation Centre on 4th Avenue West in Assiniboia. Our old Library had a need to be updated. It needed to move out of the Dinosaur age, to embrace modern technology! The new Library has high speed internet access. Internet access is FREE! Our Library now has lots of room and is wheelchair accessible. There is plenty of study space and reading areas for students and patrons. Our new Library is a showcase for our town! Come and have a look!

    Kay Cristo Room

    Kay Cristo was the Library Board's active member on the C.I.A. for many years. Kay spent many hours working on C.I.A. and library projects to raise funds for the new library. The Kay Cristo Room has been dedicated in her honour. There is a guest book to sign in the room. Access is through the Library. Various Art exhibits are usually on display in the Kay Cristo Room.

    PRESENT

    The library in the Prince of Wales Cultural and Recreation Centre, occupies 5000 sq. ft. of the complex, on the south east corner.
      Our new library has space for:
    • Study areas for students
    • Computer area
    • Significantly expanded office space to provide adequate work room for staff
    • Kay Cristo Program Room & Art Gallery, measuring 1000 sq. ft.
    • Increased shelving area
    • Wheelchair accessibility within the library
    • Increased storage space

      The Assiniboia Civic Improvement Association committee members, which include library and Arts Council members, and many community volunteers are working very hard to raise funds to pay off the mortgage on our complex. The complex is a benefit to all who live in Assiniboia and surrounding districts.

      You can phone the Assiniboia Public Library, which is the Assiniboia Branch of the Palliser Regional Library at 306-642-3631. Our librarian is Carol Munro.
