On National Indigenous Peoples Day, and throughout National Indigenous History Month, we celebrate the rich cultures, histories, languages, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples.

One meaningful way to learn more about the stories, experiences, and perspectives of Indigenous Peoples is through books, films, music, and other works by Indigenous creators. We're pleased to share our newly updated 2026 Indigenous Voices Resource Guide, featuring fiction and nonfiction for adults, teens, and children, along with a selection of films and music from our collection.

Explore the guide online or pick up a printed copy at your local VIRL branch.

📖 Discover Indigenous Voices:

📚📖STAFF RECOMMENDATION📖📚
📣🗯️📣🗯️📣🗯️📣🗯️📣🗯️📣🗯️

This week's staff recommendation comes from our Children's Librarian, Ramona! Ramona's recommendation is "Valentine in Montreal" by Heather O'Neill

This is the story of Valentine, a lonely and orphaned girl, who, while working at the dépanneur of a Montreal metro station, spots her look-alike. Following this seeming twin on to the subway and out into the city, Valentine's world is changed -- she meets gangsters, composers, ballet dancers, a cricket playing a mournful tune and she meets the city, in all its teeming energy.
