4. Fun For Everyone
The Maskwacis Cultural College Library is fun for the
whole family providing all kinds of books for kids and
adults.
It is a dedicated workplace that focuses on providing
many services and information to support the
information needs of the library user groups.
It is a great place to study in quiet and the services
provide so much that can help you with your studies.
Plus, it is great place just sit back, relax and read a book
to yourself.

5. EPL contributed a great
manga collection, a
scanner, magazine holders
and staff expertise.
The books range to
manga, science fiction,
fiction to history stories
that happened back in the
day, etc.

6. The Louis Bull Day Care brought the kids for a public visit to the college
library. The kids enjoyed a book being read to them, sang a rhyme,
admired the Halloween display and received a free book.

7. Plenty of Resources
• The college library not only has thousands of
books, but also provides a living library which
includes oral histories, indigenous law library,
Cree traditional teachings and interviews on cds
with elders.
• Students use the resources to there advantage in
hopes to have a brighter, educated future.
Research can help out a lot with planning goals
and to hear the library provides services that help
with research is a breath of fresh air.

8. Interested?
• We are trying to promote the community to
put use to the college library. As you know it
provides many resources and services that can
make a better future for yourself.
• Many people in the college often wonder
what they want to do in the future, and the
library services, plus the books help the
students pursue goals and achieve them.
