		Canadian Library Month Mois des bibliothèques au Canada October is Canadian Library Month!

		First Nations Public Library Week October 03 to October 07, 2022 This week, we are proud to recognize First Nations Public Library Week. It is not only an opportunity to promote public library services but also to celebrate cultural uniqueness through creative library programming. This year’s theme is Bekaa, Bzindaachagan \| Wait and Listen. Bekaa is a command that is told to people who are being impatient or brash. The act of waiting and listening to what someone has to say is a form of respect and offers listeners the opportunity to learn new perspectives. Bekaa, Bzindaachagan \| Wait and Listen is a reminder for us to enrich our lives by listening to others imparting knowledge, perspectives, and history. #FNPLW See: https://resources.olservice.ca/fnplw/2022
