Kelly Carrington Staff Writer The Creighton Public Library Board received funding through the Pahkisimon Neye-ah Library System during last week's Creighton Town Council meeting. The CPLB received $17,951 from the La Ronge-based PNLS, with the money to go toward operations of the Flin Flon Public Library. Funding through PNLS will be matched by the Town of Creighton and Village of Denare Beach for operating costs of the library, which caters to all three communities. PNLS was created in 1990 under the Saskatchewan Ministry of Education. Other highlights from the March 14 council meeting include: Council agreed to rent a small office in the Town of Creighton building to the Nuclear Waste Management Organization for the purpose of housing learning materials and administration duties. The rental agreement will be 12 months with a remuneration of $500, plus GST, per month.
