During the week of March 4 – 11, 2017, the Portage la Prairie Regional Library hosted a fundraiser for awareness of International Women’s Day. A movie display was prominently placed in the Library with carefully selected movies that celebrated strong women, women’s issues, or were directed by women. All money raised from the rental of these specially marked films was donated to the Portage Family Abuse Prevention Centre. The Library was very pleased to present Executive Director of the Centre, Joyce Schrader, with a cheque for $54.00.
