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.

Games Night

Posted on April 8, 2013 by Webmaster

Sorry, we have to postpone this activity.

I’d like to send out a big thank you to all who attended our last social outing. We had a great night out at Quintana’s: good food, good company, good fun!

We all seem to enjoy getting together so we’d like to continue the fun and try something a little different. Debbie has graciously offered to host a GAMES NIGHT at her place. Snacks and non-alcoholic beverages will be provided, but if you would like to imbibe in something a little stronger, please BYOB.

What: Games Night – bring along any games you’d like to play
When: Friday April 12th, 2013, 7:30pm – ???

We look forward to seeing you all for this evening of fun.

Please RSVP to Alison by Wednesday April 10th so we know how much food to arrange.
