June is National Indigenous History Month in Canada, a time to celebrate the history and resilience of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. There is still time this week to visit the incredible Jingle Dresses at the Kincardine Branch, as well as the collection of ribbon skirts at each of our 17 branches. There are multiple in-branch displays of Indigenous reads to borrow from, or you can browse our online catalogue, staff lists, and reserve items from the collection for pickup at your local branch.
