October 27th, 2008 has been proclaimed Manitoba School Library Day by Peter Bjornson, Minister of Education, Citizenship and Youth:

"School libraries in Manitoba function as information -rich centres supporting inquiry and research in schools, and are active learning centres that provide instruction and access to a wide range of resources locally and globally.  School libraries also foster student achievement and collaboration as well as the growth of traditional collections and electronic databases for the purpose of curriculum implementation in school."
