I love #PublicLibraries and #Saskatchewan is kinda awesome where all our libraries are one #library. Your branch does not have a book, but it is available in another city? You can request it, and it will get to you at your branch.
Plus they do so much more like providing computer and internet access, borrowing DVDs, #RegionalPark passes and #RadonGas detectors.
#Radon is a higher risk in #WesternCanada, so I borrowed a kit last winter. I was glad to find our risk is low.
