Cranbrook Public Library invites community to Postcard Writing Night

The Cranbrook Public Library is hosting a postcard writing event on Tuesday, September 23rd, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the library. This informal event is a call to action for everyone who lives in Cranbrook and Area C to advocate for increased funding for the library.

The Library will provide postcards and pens for participants, so they can write to the provincial government, the City and the RDEK about why the Library matters. Staff will be on hand to answer questions about the funding challenges facing the Library and the impact of this years’ service cuts.

“Without more support from our local and provincial governments, the Library will be forced to make more cuts to services in 2026,” said Ursula Brigl, Chief Librarian.

“This campaign is a critical opportunity for people to make their voices heard and help us secure the funding needed to maintain the vital services the Library provides to our community.”
