It’s First Nations Public Library Week.
Bekaa, Bzindaachagan = Wait and Listen in Anishinabemowin, the language of the Ojibwe people. It is a reminder to enrich our lives by listening to others sharing knowledge, perspectives, and history.

The Durham District School Board has pulled The Great Bear from its libraries, and I’m shocked.
We need to be putting more books by Indigenous authors on the shelves, not taking them out.
This is an insult to teachers, librarians, and children. thestar.com/news/gta/2022/04…
