Celebrate Library MonthOctober is Canadian Library Month! During this month, libraries across the country raise awareness of the valuable role libraries play in Canadian lives. To celebrate FVRL is giving away a great prize pack of FVRL swag and three library-themed books: The Strange Library, Library Lion, and Mr. Lemoncello's Library. Anyone can enter for a chance to win! Contest closes October 31.
In honour of Library Month we are also excited to share a behind-the-scenes look into all the great work we do at the library. Take a peek at our Day in the Life video to see a small glimpse into how libraries change and enhance lives everyday.
