October is Canadian Library Month:
https://librarianship.ca/features/canadian-library-month/
In September, Catherine Ross died. She was a professor and long-time dean of the School of Library and Information Science (SLIS) at Western University, the same institution where I earned my degree:

In the early 1990s with library schools falling on hard times and even struggling for their survival, Dr. Ross played a key role in the union of SLIS with Western's schoolof journalism to form a symbiotic whole, the Faculty of Information and Media Studies (FIMS).
So my donation for this month goes to a fund in her name, which will provide bursaries enabling students to pursue their studies at FIMS.
