October 16 to 22, 2011 is Ontario Public Library Week, an opportunity to celebrate public libraries, their staff and their patrons. This year’s theme, Your Library, A Place Unbound suggests that, as part of a changing world, libraries are expanding their resources as they connect people to information and reading.
