About me

Access to reading materials and library services is poor for Saskatchewan’s incarcerated population. The Saskatchewan Library Association (SLA) established a Prison Library Sub-Committee (under its Advocacy & Development committee) in 2021 to address the deficit of reading materials available to incarcerated youths and adults in Saskatchewan’s correctional facilities.
