Laurie Harrison has passed on another update from the public library, just in time for council tonight. If you haven't seen it recently check out the construction at the new library here . With most of the floor poured and about two thirds of the steel up the building is really starting to take shape.

Bill, me again. I thought I'd add one thing about my 3 month term as writer-in-residence. I'm also available to all the libraries and all writers in the entire Peace region. If a library or community group would like me to visit, please contact Anna Scott 532-3580, ext 234 or ascott@gppl.ab.ca
Also, if anyone would like to have a personal one-on-one consultation with me they can email me at dianeschuller@gmail.com
I hope to be able to help as many writers and aspiring writers in the region as possible! I really appreciate what you're doing with your blog.
