October 17th to 23rd is Ontario Public Library Week

From the Ministry of Culture's site:

"An annual fall event, Ontario Public Library Week was first announced by the province in 1985 and has since become the focus for promoting public library services in Ontario.


A strong library system is the cornerstone of a strong community. Ontario Public Library Week recognizes the important contribution Ontario's public libraries make to education, literacy and life-long learning in Ontario communities."

October is Canadian Library Month

From the CLA press release:

"The month of October is Canadian Library Month across the country with this year’s theme “Your Library: Your World: Opening Doors to the Future” emphasizing the ability of libraries to introduce new ideas, new stories, and new ways into the world around us through both traditional and emerging technologies."
