Books against an Ontario flag with text reading May We Suggest: Discover Ontario

Staycation in Ontario with help from these books

“Welcome to the world around you, blue skies and breathtaking northern vistas, rolling hills, towering forests, 400,000 inland lakes, glorious gorges, thundering falls, and miles and miles of untamed wilds. Welcome to our gentler nature, fields, and pastures, market gardens, vineyards, orchards, winding by-ways and all our smaller, quiet places… a feast of cultures, yours to enjoy, Ontario — yours to discover.” - Ontario advertisement, May 1980

Discover Ontario this summer with one (or all) of these guidebooks! Make your staycation extra-fun with a museum or park pass, free to borrow from KFPL.
