Among the Globe and Mail’s list of 33 Canadian books to read this summer is a book near and dear to the Leddy Library, 1934: The Chatham Coloured All-Stars’ Barrier-Breaking Year written by librarian Heidi L.M. Jacobs.

Dr. Jacobs, responsible for the English collections at the Leddy Library, shares the story of the Chatham Coloured All Stars, a Black baseball team who won the 1934 Ontario Intermediate Amateur Association Championship.
