Library of Parliament committee  Thank you. We're talking about integrating images, maps and factual analyses into committee reports. Parliamentarians have told us that they want to see more images in the reports.

Library of Parliament committee  We have a seminar program. We have some information sessions on the use of the library and some of the services, but we have often issues that are of interest from a public policy perspective, everything from copyright to mental health. We bring experts in, and it's really usuall

Library of Parliament committee  It's been on a significant incline since the election. This Parliament has attracted a much higher level of demand for our products and services. We were fortunate to make the business case for an increase to meet that demand, with focus on your priorities, which included a numbe

Library of Parliament committee  We use publicly available information, so there are, frankly, some limitations in terms of what we can access in order to prepare our research and analysis for you.

Library of Parliament committee  No, we don't do access to information requests.

Library of Parliament committee  I believe we're prepared. We hired a crackerjack retail expert—a bit unusual for a library—a couple of years ago. She has made some serious changes in the boutique in terms of modernizing products, really fun new products. It's been going very well. Our sales have been growing ex

Library of Parliament committee  We have three locations now. We also have a small branch at Confederation Building, and 125 Sparks, which will become our main focus during the 10 years, is currently also an active branch. We're renovating Confed and 125 Sparks, but you're right, we are opening new branches at W

Library of Parliament committee  All right. We're pretty excited about the new boutique space. We're very cramped, as you may know, in the current location in Centre Block. It will more than double the size. We're also looking, for the Government Conference Centre, at having for our senators pop-up. We've mode

Library of Parliament committee  It will be in the visitor welcome centre adjacent to West Block.

Library of Parliament committee  It would rotate. We have librarians on rotation, but it's quite a small counter. We usually have one or two in each of the smaller branches. We can get you a more specific answer.

Library of Parliament committee  Maybe I can add a little bit more. The reference librarians who are at the desk, whether it be in Centre Block or in one of the branches such as Wellington, do other work as well. A lot of our requests come in via email, for instance, so when they are not serving a parliamentaria

Library of Parliament committee  There's quite a lot of communication and change management information related to the closure of Centre Block for visitors and some of the new ways they will able to access Parliament, including the virtual experience, either in their homes across the country and beyond, or here

Library of Parliament committee  We have a nice boutique that will be about double the size in the new visitor welcome centre. I mentioned the last time we were here that there are a number of new products.

Library of Parliament committee  No, it's just that. It's an iconic building. It's our symbol. It's so important as a gathering place. We are definitely thinking ahead 10 years. We are thinking we'll make some improvements in terms of technology and so on before reopening. However, the library was renovated in

Library of Parliament committee  Thank you very much. It's a real pleasure to be here to share our work with you with respect to preparing for the move. With the Wellington Branch, I think the high numbers of parliamentarians and their office staff that we are seeing, who are working in the library and asking f
