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!

Access is through the Library. Various Art exhibits are usually on display in the Kay Cristo Room.
