Red River North Regional Library is dedicated
to providing public access to the resources required
in facilitating life long learning in our communities.
Public library services are provided in an environment
that encourages and supports all members of the
public to develop their full potential.
Libraries
in Selkirk and District have had a long and interesting
history.
The new library will be built according to the following
principles:
Residents
will be proud of what their donations and investment
of public resources has purchased: enduring quality,
civic presence, and distinguished design that is
compatible with our communities.
Our new library will be clearly identifiable as
a welcoming public facility and will be equally
accessible in the broadest sense.
Building design and siting should speak to users
of all ages and from many different cultures in
our community. The design will reflect an awareness
of the landscape and site influences.
Art will be incorporated to add depth and visual
interest to the building.
The design will consciously and carefully use light
and materials, reflecting the region and environmental
sensitivity.
Public awareness of design processes and opportunities
for involvement will be offered
The building will function effectively as a library
workplaces and Centre of Knowledge for our communities.
The building will be flexible to respond to changing
technology, demographics, and needs. In the future,
our communities will find that the new library was
built with full consideration of the needs of the
next generation of library patron.
