My mini research project for today is to find out a bit about Juliana Armstrong of Nipissing First Nation, the artist behind the beautiful poster which you can view at the above URL. So far, I don't know much beyond what I've read on the sites of a few public libraries in Ontario, for example this one in Oshawa:

If you're like me, reading has assumed an even greater part of your life since COVID-19 reared its ugly head earlier this year. And now, with virus numbers surging again, the weather getting colder and people cocooning indoors, books and reading are more important than ever as a tool for imaginative distancing.
What better time of year to celebrate libraries?
