The unique collection is designed to expose library users to works created in Lethbridge and surrounding areas in Southern Alberta.

“We’re hoping to expand it to children’s materials, and maybe even music in the future. We’re really hoping that this gets us started and we can expand the types of things we’re taking in.”

The library will be accepting submissions for their pilot project from interested authors until March 31. Submission forms can be found on the Lethbridge Public Library’s website.
