Resource Centre

CANADA'S LARGEST LENDING LIBRARY OF DANCE RELATED MATERIALS!

NEWS FROM THE RESOURCE CENTRE

I wish the best to all the dance community in Saskatchewan and abroad. As you all know, our association has been through many changes that will benefit our members and the public in general. For the ones who do not know, Dance Saskatchewan Inc. has a wonderful Resource Centre that holds a library and archive located at the back of the building.

We have reviewed the Resource Centre Borrowing Policy based on the needs of our dance community, the ways in which the Dance Saskatchewan staff can serve you better, and to get more dance related materials from the Resource Centre into circulation amongst the dance community.

The Resource Centre is open:

Mondays 9:00am to 5:00pm

Wednesdays 9:00am to 4:30pm

Thursdays 9:00am to 5:30pm
