October is Canadian Library Month! During this month, libraries and library partners across Canada raise awareness of the valuable role libraries play in Canadians’ lives. More than just a place to find books, libraries promote cultural awareness, engage in the community, provide educational programs, support freedom of expression and so much more.

In Ontario, the first week of October is First Nations Public Library Week. This year it takes place from October 6 to 10. First Nation Public Library Week

was initiated in 2000 by Indigenous libraries. There are 46 public libraries on First Nation communities in Ontario. Check out the display in the library of our newest Indigenous titles.

The third week of October is Ontario Public Library Week. This year it takes place from October 19 to 25 and the theme is “Libraries for Life.”
