Hi everyone,
The end of summer is coming upon us quickly. We thought it might be nice to have a get together and discuss some of the things you would like to see happen in the next year. Please join us for a BBQ at Alison’s house on August 31st at 5:30. We will supply hot dogs and hamburgers. Please bring a salad or side dish. For details on location please see the email sent on August 24. Another email will be sent Monday, August 29th. Looking forward to seeing everyone!

In response to both the newly created LAC Code of Conduct and the government cuts to the Newfoundland and Labrador Public Library System, the NLHLA executive have written letters to Dr. Daniel Caron and Mr. Clyde Jackman. These letters have been posted to our website and can be found under the Reports and Communication tab.
In addition, there is a link to the NLLA’s Take Action page. I urge you all to follow this link to submit a form that will send a letter to Clyde Jackman communicating your disapproval of the budget cuts to the public libraries that have been made.
