A truth and reconciliation reading list

September 30 is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day. This day acknowledges the painful legacy of residential schools and the ongoing trauma faced by survivors of these institutions and honours survivors, families, communities, and children stolen by the violence of colonialism. These books will help broaden your understanding of truth, reconciliation, and residential institutions.

Explore the reign of one of the world's most influential women

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II ruled longer than any other monarch in British history, Queen of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth for 70 years and seven months.

She became queen at age 25, though when she was born, she was third in line to the throne and never expected to become queen. She joined the women’s branch of the British Army during World War II, becoming the first female member of the Royal Family to serve in active duty, married Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark in 1947, and had four children.

She lived a storied life, detailed in these selections from our shelves.
