Canada History Week 2022 takes place from November 21 to 27. This year’s theme is Arts, Culture, and Creators! The week encourages Canadians to reflect upon and engage with Canada’s past.

Stories and information about the experiences of Chinese Immigrants in BC from 1850-1950. A special booklist in partnership of the Coquitlam Heritage Society's exhibition on the Chinese Exclusion Act of1923-1947 .

Non fiction stories of adventure in Canada and beyond. Many written by women (maybe some men) who have explored the wild places in our world.

Good, basic books on Stoic philosophy. The focus here is on: a) a few writers who have interpreted Stoic philosophy for modern audiences, b) the surviving Greco-Roman texts, and c) a couple of biographies. Unfortunately, I've yet to find a good biography of Marcus Aurelius; let me know if you've found one! The links here all go to Goodreads and, for the ancient texts, to the translations/editions I recommend. By the way, not one of these books is in the Coquitlam Library system!
