Enhancing library service
for the citizens of Red Deer  

In January 2002, the City of Red Deer, Red Deer Public Library and Red Deer College signed an agreement to provide a new level of library service to the citizens of Red Deer.  This agreement is based on the gift of $1,000,000 from the City and Public Library tax levies to the Capital Campaign for Red Deer College's Library Information Commons.
On this page you will find the latest information on the Library Council - the group set up in the agreement that will plan for this new service.  The members of this council are:
From Red Deer College:
Alice McNair, Interim Manager, Learning Resources
Greg Joice, Student, RDC
Maureen Toews, Chair, RDC Library
From the City of Red Deer:
Colleen Jensen, Community Services Director
From Red Deer Public Library:
