Libraries in Saskatchewan have a long history of working together to realize their shared goals. The “libraries. online.” campaign has been designed to capitalize on this strength. The more libraries use the design and slogan of this province-wide promotion campaign, the more effective the campaign will be in informing Saskatchewan people about online library services.

This section of the campaign web page is being updated on a regular basis. It will provide you with tools that will help you promote online library services.

The campaign logo design is available for download. Products, such as posters, bookmarks and some additional materials have been distributed to libraries across the province to use to promote their online library services. If you would like additional products, please let us know.
