"Sandwiches are beautiful! Sandwiches are fine! I like sandwiches; I eat them all the time! I eat them for my supper and I eat them for my lunch. If I had a hundred sandwiches, I'd eat them all at once!" - Fred Penner

Need a sandwich? We have some ingredients thanks to Camrose Helps Foundation !

The City of Camrose needs your help to decide which services matter most! As one of those services, we would appreciate if our library fans would attend the event and share what CPL means to you, and to our community.

The City of Camrose provides CPL with ~70% of our annual budget, and they are about to start discussions for the 2027 and 2028 budget years, so this moment counts.

Thank you to everyone who participates in the budget process!

"Prior to Bill 28, local library boards set policies and guidelines that reflect community needs and values," said Ron Sheppard, Director of Parkland Regional Library System. "We are very concerned that Bill 28 allows local governance to be overridden by the Ministry of the day. This is a significant shift, and it's very troubling."
