VI Regional Library Ladysmith

✨🎉📕

Today (April 23) is World Book Day, 📚✨

From well-loved classics to new adventures waiting to be discovered, books have a way of connecting us, inspiring us, and sparking the imagination.

It’s the perfect excuse to pick up a book and head to your favourite spot in Town to get lost in a good story.

Looking for a great read by a local or Canadian author? Be sure to visit the VI Regional Library Ladysmith on 1st Avenue for suggestions, recommendations, and your next great read.

📣🗣️Today, March 31, we recognize National Indigenous Languages Day, a time to honour the rich diversity of Indigenous languages and the ongoing work of communities to revitalize and share them.

Explore Indigenous language resources through our Indigenous Languages webpage: https://virl.bc.ca/read-watch-listen/audience/indigenous/indigenous-languages/

You can also visit FirstVoices, an internationally recognized platform where Indigenous communities share and promote their languages, oral cultures, and linguistic histories, including resources from Vancouver Island, Haida Gwaii, and the Central Coast: https://www.firstvoices.com/languages

🌎 What if reconciliation with one another is impossible… without first reconciling ourselves to the earth?
Join us Wednesday, February 25 | 12–1 pm for the powerful Season 6 opening of the TRC #57 Speaker Series featuring leading Anishinabe legal scholar, member of the Chippewa of the Nawash First Nation, and the Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Law at the University of Victoria, Dr. John Borrows.

Drawing from Resurgence and Reconciliation, Dr. Borrows invites us to rethink treaties, responsibility, and what it means to live within the earth’s limits — not as theory, but as daily practice.

This is where the year begins.
Slow down. Listen deeply. Reflect boldly.
✨ Register now and be part of the conversation.
