I thought somebody (the CLA Committee on Intellectual Freedom?) released an annual report on book challenges during the past year. I wasn't able to find it but the official site for Freedom to Read does have a list highlighting 100 different books that have been challenged in the past decade. One entry in particular caught […]
SaskTel Max, a Saskatchewan-based cable TV service has a feature where they have local content available on-demand for their subscribers. This might be a clip profiling an upcoming festival or visiting a few of the best known restaurants around town. Or, in a week or two, it will include a guided tour to the services […]

By the end of the year, SILS will be comprised of a total of ten library systems covering the […]
Appropriate for the first FFL of 2010 on a day where the mercury dropped to -48 with windchill (aka “hmmm, I did not realise that you could get frostbite there.”)
This home was one of the highlights of our sparkle tour in my hometown tonight. (We're having Early Christmas with my parents this weekend then going to Shea's parents' for the actual day.)
The launch of the province-wide library system, SILS, is getting more and more media attention with Saskatoon being the first system to go live next week.
