October is Canadian Library Month when libraries and library partners across Canada raise awareness of the valuable role libraries play in Canadians’ lives.
The Ottawa Public Library is taking an approach focused on misinformation (if I’m not misinformed!)
Would that all public libraries valued their collections, especially their local history and genealogical collections as much as some.
Some Ontario libraries are cleaning out their collections without public consultation, making room for lending materials that hardly relate to traditional library materials (books, audio/visual materials and so much more); some are calling themselves A Library of Things, lending snowshoes, jigsaw puzzles, telescopes etc. Sigh
