Residents in the RM of Grahamdale are going to have to go through a bit more trouble to get library books. Reeve Clifford Halaburda says funding challenges have the led to the Parkland Regional Library cutting back on some of the region's bookmobile visits.

"The library bus is transporting the books and stuff within the region. They're shutting down, there's a shortage of money, as they say. It's kind of sad, because everybody always looked forward to it, and they always used their books."

He says while there's a bit of a sense of disappointment regarding the change, there's not much they can do to address the issue.

"There's always a bit of disappointment among the people, there always will be, but the story is when you're short of dollars, that's the way it is. Everyone would like to try and help, but how do you do this?."

The bookmobile will stop visiting the region starting June 15th.
