The Rotary Club of Slave Lake Public Library
Last summer after tons of fundraising through the efforts of the community, Rotary Club and contributions from the AB Government & Town of Slave Lake, months and millions to build, the Library had its grand opening. On May 15, 2011 residents had to watch as they were driving away, looking at news coverage and pictures, that they library was taken within minutes by the wildfire. Well now book lovers across Alberta, Canada, and the World - lets help this town rebuild it!
About forty per cent of the Town is gone and support for those who lost their homes and possessions is pouring in via the Red Cross and other organizations. Support for the library is also pouring in. Libraries, bookstores, publishers and other library-related organizations have been in touch with the Slave Lake Library and Peace Library System to see how they can help the library rebuild.
Here’s what you can do:
Donations of new or nearly new books (no more than two years old) can be shipped to Peace Library System headquarters where they will be catalogued, processed and stored until a temporary library opens in Slave Lake. Please ship prepaid to:
Peace Library System

We are grateful for the many book donations that have been promised to the library and have heard from many organizations who are holding fundraising efforts on our behalf.
