The Manitoba Library Associations Prison Libraries Committee recently won the Premiers Volunteer Service Award in the community category of Volunteer Manitoba’s 36^th Annual Volunteer Awards.

 

The Pas Regional library is part of the Prison Libraries Committee and it’s a volunteer group that provides collections, programming, and library awareness for incarcerated adults in the justice system.

 

The group provides service to four facilities in Manitoba including The Pas Correctional Centre by providing the residents with books to read and they try to provide them with new material whenever possible.

 

Lauren Wadeluis from The Pas Regional Library says that it’s a lot of hard work that is very rewarding and it was great to receive the Premiers Volunteer Service Award.
