Summer means travel, and travel means getting lost - unless you bring your map with you. The New Westminster Public Library has hundreds of maps you can borrow for use on your vacations.

Want to see your special moments published online? The theme is wide open: if it comes from the city of New West- minster, we want to see it! The Record has a variety of reader photo galleries on our website at www. royalcityrecord.

Want to be featured in Paper Postcards? Take a copy of the The Record along with you on your next trip. Take a photo of yourself in front of a scenic backdrop or landmark, holding the newspaper. Send your photos by email to postcards@royalcityrecord.
