About this episode
Jeff Barber discusses the challenges faced by the Regina Public Library following recent city budget announcements.
The Regina Public Library has had a pretty disappointing couple months. With the city announcing it doesn't have debt room available for projects like the Library Central Branch Restoration Project, the RPL has discovered they will have to shift gears on a procurement process that's already underway. RPL director Jeff Barber visits the subbasement to discuss how he's coping with the bad news. Music by Ryan Hill (aka Guidewire). Originally broadcast on 91.3FM CJTR, AccessNow community radio.
