All branches of the Windsor Public Library will be closed on September 30, 2024; however, displays of Indigenous content and resources will be featured at all branches and online at the Digital Branch throughout the week. Staff have prepared a video on Truth and Reconciliation, and offer the following opportunities for community engagement:
During the month of September, customers have been encouraged to pick up a button at Fontainebleau Branch in honour of Orange Shirt Day/National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
The week of September 23 to 27, 2024, visit the Bridgeview Branch from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. daily for a Truth and Reconciliation Video Series. Learning and honouring the truth of our history from Indigenous knowledge keepers is an important part on the path of reconciliation. Please join us at the Bridgeview Library for this daily lunch-and-learn series. We will provide reading materials and videos each day. The reading materials will be available as a Take and Learn as well.
Drop by Central Branch and help to make an indoor Heart Garden to honour the children and survivors affected by the residential school system. Paper hearts will be available for patrons to colour and decorate, and then mount onto a stem on the bulletin board to create a flower. This activity is available from September 16 to 30, 2024.
Please visit the Windsor Public Library’s Events Calendar for additional information.
