As Kelli Jerome introduces her role as a Regional Librarian for inmates institutionalized in the Western Region of Ontario, we will learn how to remove hardcovers from donated books and rebind for distribution. Meet in the library (FNB 3020) on Wednesday, October 27th at 12:00 noon.

FIMS Graduate Library Fall Book Club
As part of our effort to highlight the selections from this year’s First Nation Communities Read (FNCR) Awards, we’ve chosen Michelle Good’s Five Little Indians as the focus of our Fall Book Club. Good’s novel tells the stories of Kenny, Lucy, Clara, Howie and Maisie, five friends who have been released from a church-run residential school and “chronicles the desperate quest of these residential school survivors to come to terms with their past and, ultimately, find a way forward” (from the book jacket). 

In addition to being shortlisted in the YA/Adult category of FNCR, Good’s novel has become a National Bestseller and has won numerous awards, including the Governor General’s Literary Award for Fiction.  Copies of Five Little Indians are available for loan in the FIMS Graduate Library and are widely available in many public and academic libraries. 

Thursday November, 25, 2021
2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
(synchronous on Zoom and FNB 3020)
