Sesquicentennial Stories – 150 Years of the Saskatchewan Legislative Library

The Saskatchewan Legislative Library’s roots can be traced back to 1876 when the seat of the Territorial Government moved from Manitoba to the area of present-day Saskatchewan. The first collection was established for the use of the officers of that government, and from these humble beginnings, its size and role has expanded. Join us for a fascinating look at the history of the Legislative Library and its continuing relevance to the democratic process and the people of Saskatchewan.
