Free trivia night in the Dr. John Archer Library & Archives. Snacks, prizes, and trivia fun. Join us on March 5 from 5:00-6:30 p.m. in the Archer Library’s Regina Room. Come individually, in pairs, or as a team of four. Hosted in collaboration with the English Students Association, Science Students Society, and the Biochemistry and Chemistry Students Association.
In preparation for the arrival of new furniture in spring 2025 on the Library’s 5th floor, installation of electrical equipment and acoustic panels will occur over the winter Reading Week (Tuesday, February 18 – Friday, February 21).
The west and central silent study areas will be inaccessible during installation of electrical raceway equipment and acoustic panels (see floorplan.) A brief power shutdown can be anticipated (impacting the 4th and 5th floors). What’s to come? Comfortable semi-enclosed study pods and accessible study pods will be available for students in the 5th floor silent zone. Sound absorbing acoustic panels will reduce distractions and create an more conducive environment for focused work.
Director and storyteller Tasha Hubbard was interviewed on CBC Radio’s “Saskatchewan Weekend” (hosted by Shauna Powers) about her new film Singing Back the Buffalo. Listen here:
Hubbard will be screening the film at the University of Regina February 13th at an event co-presented by the Archer Library and Archives. The event is now at capacity (there is a waitlist) however for those who can’t attend, the film is also available to be viewed online through the Library:

As human rights are being eroded elsewhere in the world, the Archer Library and Archives remains committed to showcasing and amplifying the voices of those who have historically been oppressed, discriminated against, or under-represented. For Black History Month, we have a page dedicated to highlighting some of our resources either by or about Black Canadians or from the global Black diaspora, and you can find it here:
