The Power of Freedom to Read Week

As Freedom to Read Week comes to a close, it’s a time to reflect on the vital role this event plays in celebrating our right to read freely and access diverse ideas. This week serves as a reminder of our fundamental right to read any book and access a wide range of ideas and information, despite efforts to censor materials deemed inappropriate by some.

February is Black History Month

February is Black History Month, a time to recognize and celebrate the history, culture, and contributions of Black people and communities (in Canada and beyond). As an accompaniment to the Library’s physical display (pictured above), we are pleased to feature select digital resources as we learn and celebrate.

So once upon a time there was CARISAn Andrea Henery who has had a riveting life, and who has kindly donated hundreds of UWindsor student life archival photos,
some of which will be showcased in the final blog next month.

Andrea resides in Canada.
