On Wednesday, June 24th, library staff will be showing the powerful documentary "No More Silent Battles", which shines a light on the growing crisis of dementia care in Canada. The documentary follows the deeply personal journeys of four families as they navigate a bureaucratic and confusing home care system and exposes the silent battles that caregivers must wage to get the help they need. After the documentary, there will be a Q&A with Dr. Ingram.

We will be meeting at our Millbrook Branch from 1:00-3:00pm.

Looking to try a graphic novel?

Staff recommended, “Red and the Wolves” by Canadian author Cherry Zong is a retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. Red, a fiercely loyal hunter, has dedicated her life to protecting her witch Grand Mother. Monsters have been roaming the forest that they call home, bringing forth a mysterious illness that has devastated the land and chased every living soul away. Until Red stumbles upon an injured wolf-girl named Sil. Red is cautiously optimistic to befriend someone new, but the more their relationship deepens, the more she begins to uncover the sinister truths behind everything she’s ever known. Red must make the difficult decision of who to defend, before catastrophe consumes them all.
