Saskatchewan Library Week, October 17 - 23, 2021
SLA Videos for Library Programming
The theme for the upcoming 2021 Saskatchewan Library Week is Saskatchewan Libraries: Rise Above. The theme reflects the creativity and flexibility of libraries and library workers to adapt to changing times and needs. SLA has once again commissioned six artists and writers to create videos for use by Saskatchewan libraries for in-person or virtual programming and to share freely on social media. The topics include:
Jillian Bell – “Dungeons, Dragons and Dice”: a workshop on running tabletop roleplaying games in any gaming system
Jess Richter – workshop exploring the German-Canadian folk art painting technique of Fractur
Josey Loughins – workshop creating a journal from a discarded or weeded library book
Judith Silverthorne – beginner writing workshop
Elaine McArthur – presentation of short stories relating to the artist’s culture and residential school experiences
Lesley Schatz – workshop using story to create a group mural
The videos can be found on the SLA website at https://saskla.ca/2021-video-project where they will be available for free public use for at least one year. Videos from Saskatchewan Library Week 2020 can be found on the SLA website as well.
