Stephanie has been working hard to make the library a welcoming hub for culture, learning and enjoyment. However, throughout the years, she’s noticed an unfortunate reality – that for many, the library can simply be a place of refuge

As a librarian, her first thought was naturally to use her portion of the $100 to acquire more authentic Indigenous resources such as books, graphic novels and a variety of digital materials — something she’d been working towards, even before hearing about the Local Give campaign. However, when she brought the initial idea to the students, they had something entirely different in mind — something symbolic and meaningful, and more permanent.
