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.

Seeking safety: World Refugee Day
Every person on this planet has a right to seek safety – whoever they are, wherever they come from and whenever they are forced to flee. World Refugee Day is an international day designated by the United Nations to honour refugees around the globe.
It falls each year on June 20 and celebrates the strength and courage of people who have been forced to flee their home country to escape conflict or persecution. World Refugee Day is an occasion to build empathy and understanding for their plight and to recognize their resilience in rebuilding their lives.
